Diving
Egypt was fantastic :)
It was a really nice diving vacation, lots of nice dives :)
Here below are some of the pictures from the trip, alongside the dive logs they tell the story of the trip. More or less anyways ;)
A Gallery with all pictures from the trip can be found here.
What a day :)
Today is my last day at work in TDC, it is also the last day in Denmark before i head off to Egypt, to dive with a bunch of friends and try out my new dive lamp :)
Going by train from Aarhus to Copenhagen today, and tomorrow we fly from Copenhagen Airport to Sham el Sheik in Egypt, to fly further on to Luxor ( also in Egypt ). There we have to spend the night as we miss the last military convoy with 15 minutes :( Then we have a 250 kilometer drive through the desert until we reach Marsa Alam Ecolodges.
One week of diving later, we will head the same way back home to Denmark :)
I wonder if i get to make up some names for my girl ;)
Advanced Open Water 5/5
I’m now prepared to go diving in Egypt :)
Friday, i did a Night dive, unfortunately without my newly ordered trebel-light lamp, since the store don’t have it yet.
Today i did a deepdive and a drift dive in Lillebælt. That was dive 4 & 5 of the needed 5 specialty dives needed to be certified as a Advanced Open Water Diver. On the drift dive there was a strong current, and at first it felt like a roller coaster ride, but after a few minutes, you relax a bit more and can enjoy it :) Below 10 meters, the visibility was nothing less than excellent.
So now i have the Advanced Open Water Divers certification, next up is the Rescue Diver course, but I’m not gonna start on that till later this year i think. Plan is to end up being a Master Scuba Diver.
Advanced Open Water 2/5
Woops, almost forgot i had a blog :D
Anyways, I’m currently 2/5 done with my Advanced Open Water Divers certification, and I’m good to go to both Egypt on a diving vacation with 3 male friends, and later in September a week in Norway to go spearfishing with naknemo.dk :D
Part 1 & 2 of the AWOD course was a Underwater Navigation dive, and a Peak Performance Buoyancy dive. I should probably have had a scuba review before i plunged in on the first dive, since the last time i dove was in February in Thailand :) It worked out well though.
Currently I’m waiting for my underwater lamp to be delivered form Germany, i have ordered a 50Watt HID lamp alongside a 12V 13aH battery from trebel-light.com. In short, a big freaking insane light that will glow for approximately 2 hours 45 minutes on a fully charged battery. It should serve me well, both underwater hunting, and SCUBA diving as well :) I just hope to get it before Friday ( 17th ) as I’m going on my first SCUBA night dive :)
