Well England turned out to be cold, wet and grey, in fact everything that we really do not miss about the place. But it was successful, the knee was fixed to a certain extent, and it turns out that diving is the best exercise that he can do.
So I came back early and did a week’s work which has been quite fun.
We have had a boat of relatively inexperienced divers, so all our dives have been 18M or less, and I can tell the difference! Even on a three dive day whilst I still feel sleepy in the evening, I don’t feel that complete physical tiredness that I do at the end of a normal week’s guiding where most of the dives have been deeper than 20M and some in the region of 30M. Interesting…

After a couple of days building up people’s confidence and abilities, we were still able to take them to some of the more spectacular dive sites, so hopefully they went home having learned something as well as having seen some pretty cool wildlife.
I certainly enjoyed myself, but I guess I always do enjoy those first few dives that little bit more when I have come back from a break. Another bonus was that the water appears to have warmed up again! Once more we are getting 28ºC on local sites and 26-7ºC on the deeper Tiran and Ras Mohammed sites.. not bad eh. This combined with my new super-duper wet-suit means the dry suit stays in its bag for a few more weeks. Now that is cool, as I am normally struggling by this time of year.
