Open Water 01 10./11./12.09.2008

10 years after I had actually done my PADI Open Water in Sharm, I did sign up for the class again. This because 10 years ago I did not send in the documents to PADI and therefore didn't get the certificat. But this time things would be different.

My dive instructor was Phil Penn, a guy who has just arrived 6 weeks ago from England. Mybuddes were Kirstin and Matt, a young couple from England who just started their 2 year travelling in Sharm.

We had a real good time and it actually was fun. Watching the DVD's was a little but hard because I am always so tired but I made it. On the 3rd day we went on the boat to dive in the sea and lucky us, we have seen a turtle on our 1st dive. As I was tired I just made 2 dives while Kirstin and Matt made 3 dives.

Starting from today Camel organizes a party for their staff and the guests and to celebrate the PADI Scuba Diver certificate of Kirstin and Matt we went to the party at the Camel Bar.

By now they probably are on their way to the Mount Everest, that was their next planned destination on their trip. Guys, it was very nice meeting you. I wish you all the best and enjoy your travelling.

Take care
