DIVING

the first day with cam in water. was not so easy :) im an advanced open water now..

When I came to Sharm el Sheikh again, it was like coming home again. Its so totally different from the country I live in, Norway. I feel more alive in Egypt. In Norway im used to its always quite, less people, you walk alone, people talk less, and even the shops in the main-street close at 16.30!

In Egpyt -Shram el Sheikh- Its never quite, people, music, cars, always something happens. I like it very much!! I walk by someone, sitting alone in the shop or somewhere else. And just sit and sing for themselves.. :) in Norway, if you go and sing alone, people here may think you are crazy. We are a lot more stiff and cold, compared to the egyptian people. Even to take the little blue busses in Sharm I like very much. They fill them up, so somethimes they even sit on eachothers lap.

so many beutiful fishes!
And they talk, arabian music plays lowd and the driver go as fast as the bus can drive I think. its fun! :)

But when you dive down in the red sea, its so quite. Its so nice, like you fly weightless trough the water, and see all this coulor in the fish and all this amazing corals. They have beautiful shapes and coulors too. To those who never been diving its hard to descrive what this its like exactly. But so happy i feel under water and how overvelled i always become over the world can have so much beauty, nothing can compares to it!

When I arrived Sharm, I have only taken one diving-lesson in Padi Scubadiver course. So I contiune this, one day with diving, outside house reef, I was so lucky to see a little shark. And a turtle. Because my ear had some problems the first day, I couldnt go so near it.

But I was lucky to see two more of this, when I continuing with Padi-Open water. And then later on advanced course. Because three of this dives we went out with a boat. To Ras Mohammed. I went diving on some great places. I was glad, because my ear was ok, all the rest of the days.

 I saw also a big beutiful Napoleon-fish in two meters! It was big! And we saw baracuda, and this two turtle, one of them, swim close and in front of us, a long time! Amazing!

When I was finished my advanced-course. I was diving in House reef again. And it was an navigation-course. Me and my diving-partner, was going to do a sqaurrel.

ten feet straight forward, then to right 45 degrees ten feet etc. And come to the same spot we arrived. He watch on the compass and I counting the feet But We had just turn right the first time. When I saw this big and so beutiful fish flew some meter under us. It was maybe 2 meter between the "wings" Beautiful Manta.I forgot everything about the counting. I was so thrilled to see this fish. very special moment! :)

The last day I went diving was on a boat-trip, with camera. I have a lot of foto I have taken. But the first time with cam. And its not easy!! The fish already past when you have taken the foto ;) And the color dissapears when you are on 6-10 meters without extra blush. But it was a lot of fun. And like everything else, it become better when you learn and do it more...

The third dive this day, I just snorkelling, and take some foto. And just in the beginning I saw a 2,5 meters murrain. it swim under me, maybe 4-5 m. But of course I have all this water inside my mask, and I couldnt see anything, i swim over it some meter, and take a lot of foto, but the foto its no good, because i was so high over it. But you can see it in the foto. 

so.. if you not a diver, go straight away try it!! Nothing are more special and fun!!
