Holiday report - Part 2 Diving! (PADI: Go places, do people, catch things)

[spoox]

We had arrived in Sharm reasonably late in the evening. After settling in and having a roof top dinner where jonnytuna made it clear that he required at least three gallons of tahina just for himself, we drank beer on the roof terrace and listened to tales of diving horror and glee until fairly late. As was to become normal, we dragged ourselves out of bed

I have a chum who does coldwater diving in Scotland which sounds about no fun at all.

I want to dive next year.

You should come along next time, and I am pretty sure there will be a next time!

Isnt Stoney Cove renouned for being a really dangerous place to dive?

If i remember, there has been a disporportionately large ammount of deaths there.

Although i think they have a plane submerged at the bottom.. so its a win/lose situation.

There have indeed been a large number of deaths over the last few years. Still, there is a plane and various other stuff to see at the bottom. Bloody cold by the sound of things though.

It sounds amazing!! And thanks for the detail, its really lovely to read for someone that does not know what to expect....
Its definitely something I want to try. Everyone I know that has done it raves about it. Hopefully next year... Tim is going for swimming classes after his papers are in at the end of April!

Oh, there is also a flooded quarry in Swithland Woods too. Although i'm not sure if there is a school there.
