Living and Diving in Sharm el Sheikh

I love that reef, it always manages to come up trumps whatever time of year it is, and even if you don’t get to see any big stuff.

So, what has been going on since I last posted here?? All the usual stuff really, we are back to work with a vengeance, and the dive centre is hectically busy… possibly because there are currently some ridiculous offers about, so people are escaping from the misery of home for a bargain price. Great for us, as it keeps us working and diving!

So whilst the weather is making its mind up as to what it wants to do this week, we enjoyed a great couple of days’ diving. I had been guiding a group of mixed abilities who wanted to ease into it and stay local for their trip, however I then got put onto a boat headed a little further afield yesterday.

So it’s not looking good as far as the Deepstop blog supplier goes, and it looks like this might be the beginning of my new blog!!! I can’t believe it, over two years of entries, dive logs and general musings totally lost in space!! Apparently the site got hijeacked and they are trying as we speak to retrieve data! The irony is that I had tried to import all my entries and save them here, but for some reason it didnt work with my mac system… Aghhh. So… guess it is a new beginning… no use crying over spilt milk. Right, back to the blog. It was Scuba Review day today… I had two advanced divers and two who had only four dives, so a little bit of a contrast in experienced, but all went well. We are all diving together tomorrow, so hopefully things will go well and we’ll see some good stuff. The weather report is fairly flat all week, so let’s hope we get some decent diving done. |

So we have got back into the work mode now, although it has taken a week to stop feeling like it was the middle of the night whenever my alarm went off in the morning. Today we were off to the Dunraven, so it was an early start. So we got off to a good start time wise, leaving the jetty nice and early, only to find that there was a bit of swell (bit of an understatement). Well it had been windy for a couple of days, and was still windy this morning, so a nice choppy swell had built up, throwing our boat around the houses a bit. For over an hour we rocked and rolled until we got past the tip of the peninsula and were able to turn around the corner into shelter. In all honesty it wasn’t that brilliant around the corner, but everything is relative, and this was comparitively lovely. Thankfully we were able to do all our dives in the sheltered spots, but I must admit, by the end of the day, I was getting a little bored of the constant rocking effect… never good when you are needing to look down, packing kit etc.. oooo. By the time I got home, I still felt like I was on the boat (which hasn’t happened to me in a long time). |
