The new home - at last

I have moved in with Patrick, fellow Freediving Instructor at the Desert
Divers. Jerome was moving out for some time back to france, so now the
two of us live in a nice little place in Asala. Distinguishing features:
pink taps that open the wrong way and a Grill in the front yard, where
we grilled some squid and a red snapper. This is Jerome, by the way. :)
- Safe travels!

Some underwater images

We went for some snorkeling last week, too. Here's an impression of what
there was to see. Notice the bad-ass moray eel it must have been at
least 20cm long!

Back from a holiday with Uli.

The first visitor from Home has come and gone - too soon. But it was a
great week. Sure felt like a holiday. :D

The Apnea Academy Instructor course.

What a week!
The Apnea Academy (http://www.apnea-academy.com) course was a blast! (a little) Blood, (lots of) sweat and (some) tears turned a Sanso with a crappy finning technique and a not-too-good breaststroke into an Apnea Academy Instructor! Meeting so many great people, the participants, the instructors and of course Umberto was an experience second to none. An amazing week of hard work, much learning, gaining a little bit of insight into the years of experience in diving and teaching that Umberto and the AA-family have. Many of You people out there have left a lasting impression on me and I
am looking forward to seeing You again. 

One of the most important things I can hardly believe is the luck I had with my randomly assigned roommate Giorgos. Hardly could there have been a better match for both of us to share a room (and a bed, really :) )
during this week. Giorgos and I really got along extremely well, and I have to say, that his support carried me through the rough patches of the course. I feel that apart from the experience I have also met a friend there in Sharm.

Life is good.

Moving house

Found a new room - not as nice and clean, but half the money and with
free wireless. Here's the thing. Now I even have a ceiling fan!

Here's the Picture of the Room - before I messed it up. :D

Where I live

This is the door to my first room for the stay here in Dahab. Pretty posh at 30 £/day (Egyptian, that is). The bike is the biggest blessing and extremely useful to have around here. Lisas stories of riding through the balkan and south from there make me want to take off for a grand tour already, but for now it's dahab and diving for me. :)
As for diving, the water is great, the new suit is perfect and the color is signature style - no-one has a suit in light olive green with bright-orange seams.
I wonder why.. :)
