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.

Glückwunsch! Der Link zur AA funktioniert nicht. Anscheinend muss das www vorangestellt werden.

Es scheint dir ja gut zu gehen, sieht man gerne. :)
