Hi there!

Days 9-11 - Diving in Dahab
I absolutely adore my new hobby scuba diving! It is such an amazing experience to be underwater and breathing.  I had a great instructor, Rich, all to myself for the two days it took to get my Open Water certificate.  I did alright I reckon and I felt such a rush when I managed to hover in mid-water, face to face with Nemo.  It's not as easy as it looks, you know!

There were swarms of these "goldfish" that it was so amazing to just swim through

The parrot fish - so called because its "nose" looks like a parrot's beak

There were quite a few of these deadly lion fish - so beautiful, but so bad to touch!

The highlight was getting nose to nose with this "Nemo" fish - proof my bouyancy was under control!
