Greetings from the bottom of the Red Sea

Training for the competition - that's what it should look like. :)
Sitting on the Sand in the red sea, taking self portraits. What more is there in Life, really?
The last couple of days were really good. Martin and Nadia from England arrived in Dahab, Martin for an AIDA ** course, Nadia to watch her husband hold his breath for no reason at all.
We spent pretty much the whole week together, talking, eating, converting Nadia to freediverdom ;), and generally having lots of fun and enjoying each others' compeny. A lot, on my part.
Obviously, there now are plans of returning to Dahab to get more of this addictive little town, and for me to learn how to swim properly, as Martin's coaching proved very necessary - and very effective, too.
The view on the diving has shifted a little bit. Competition is not what it's about. I' will compete, but I most of all want the diving to be fun, so there can be no pressure as to how deep it gets and no comparison either. And suddenly things have become even better here as well.
