Sunday 6 April….Had a few emails

Sunday 6 April…Had a few emails moaning about the weather in the UK at the moment, so I thought I’d just post you a reminder of the weather in the uk a year ago, when teaching a Nav course..Just like to say…it’s 34 degrees here in Egypt at the mo, more of you should’ve taken the opportunity to relish in the super weather here.

Saturday 5 April…..Early night

Saturday 5 April…Early night took photo on way off to slumber, afternoon reef dive, thought I’d brave it with a shortie, water temp the same as when we were here in January ! I think everyone could here me whimper through the reg. I think the whimpering was picked up by Sharks sonar, as haven’t seen head nor tail of Em since dive.

Thursday 3 April …. Been busy today

Thursday 3 April…Been busy today, very windy in Sharm meant change of dive location today. Very tired, but now having to listen to Em’s Freediving breathing techniques, soft palate, epiglottis and diaphragm exercise (thought they were all types of gateaux myself). Thought with her snoring ability, she’d have no problem with those. Weather..Windy and too hot !
