Sea Day
The day started early as I was eager to complete my IRB application and send it in to my mentor for review. I sat in a darkened cabin with the glow of the computer as I worked trying not to disturb JoRina. When she woke up we discussed all of the fun we have had aboard. We laughed, schemed and reminisced over a pot of tea. Around 8AM, Captain Oprey announced that an Australian Navy ...

diving holidays have been on the increase since the beginning of the
year and it’s no wonder when the ocean is filled with some of the most
stunning creations on earth. Diving holidays

Final Dive at Marsa Shagra House Reef South
... also kind of looking forward to diving without anyone else for a change. The zodiac set us off a good ways down on the south reef. Surely I had to do the back drop on the side of the boat where the current moved towards! So, yet again I got pushed around by the boat a little bit before we descended. To begin with we thought that we might have chosen the wrong part of the reef to dive, because we sure had to fight a little against the significantly ...
