Christine, hauling her lead and heavy gear out to deeper waters.

Her she is again, suspended in mid-water....weightless.

Look! There! An ugly fish!

Welcome back to Your Hotel.

Big dinner time.

Behind us, you see Saudi Arabia. It's that close.


This morning, we're off to another dive site. Grab your stuff.

Load up the jeep trailer.

Come on up!

Not all road signs are that obvious...but our guides know the area well.


While Kristy, Emely and myself sit down with Ibrahim for classes....

...the others get their gear out.

They head off into Moray Gardens.

While the rest of the group heads off to more exciting places, we stay at nearby Lighthouse for more scuba training.
