Back in Sharm el-Sheikh, we were the first passengers to arrive for the 3-day diving liveaboard. The 25m yacht was very luxurious, and the 9 crew could cater for the wishes of 12 passengers. But once onboard, we discovered that we were the only passengers! Apparently no one else had booked the trip, and it was guaranteed departure. It truly was the luxury life of Kings: our equipment was taken care of, we could choose the diving spots (not that we had the knowledge, so we let the crew decide)…

Diving in the Red Sea around Hurgada. Made my PADI OWD there...

31 dives in 2 weeks - phew! 20 with Skez and Katie on MS Typhoon liveaboard and 11 with Red Sea College, based in Sharm.

Some of my favorite pictures taken in: (Cozumel, Cancun, Cuba, Brazil, Red Sea, Great Barrier Reef...)

Amazing! Visited some truly awe inspiring places such as Luxor and Petra. Also the people there are so kind and friendly!

What an opportunity :) Upon arriving at the port and setting eyes on the boat, I knew it was going to be a great week. The boat we used was called the 'Whirlwind' - I had never been on a dive boat like it! This was all arranged through 'Tony Backhurst Scuba'.  The dives were extremely varied, with some unbelieva…

Dr. Swanson took my Cultural Geography class to St. Anthony's Monastery and St. Paul's Monastery.  Both are on the coast of the Red Sea and are impossible to get to, unless you are the awesome Dr. Swanson and then nothing, not even mountains or a serious lack of roads, will stop you and your determined class.  St. Anthony's Monastery (the oldest monastery in the world), is closed to the public and VERY closed to women.  But, we were student's of Dr. Swanson, and Dr. Swanson was…

Last September we went to Egypt for 10 days. We stayed in a very nice resort: Serenity Makadi Bay Resort in Hurghada. Beautifull garden, swimmingpools and rooms! We went one day to Luxor, it was a bustrip for allmost 5 hours, but it was great! We also make 7 dives in the Redsea. We don't have a underwatercamera so: No pictueres :(
