Shit, diving is awesome. Totally thinking of scrapping this human science bull shit and going into marine biology. But I like humans too, maybe that's what my masters will be. Anyway, egypt, at a mean of 40 degrees, was ridiculously hot. dah. But for some reason this year I was able to hack the heat and stayed outside most of the time, racking up a pretty deep tan and probably some skin cancer. AWESOME, its fine, I'm forcing jimmy to get his moles checked with me, that's love.I think this was the year that seriously showed me how much I actually love diving. Before I think I loved it because I got to see sharks and other superrad aquatic creatures, but this time we really didn't see anything bigger than the occasional giant barracuda (above) and napoleon, sad I know. So I suppose I realised that I love diving for diving, whether I see sharks or not. We were only there for a week but went on a pretty substantial amount of dives, including a night dive, which I’d never done before. I seriously think that was one of the best dives I’ve ever done, no reef sharks on the prowl, but I saw some awesome things I’d never seen before (snakes, a large amount of eels/sting rays, crabs, lobsters, cuttlefish, etc).
I actually wasn’t looking forward to going back to the hotel we stayed in last year because the amount of things they do for you actually makes the ‘experience’ awkward. They do so much for you that I wouldn’t be surprised if they have assisted a couple of able adults in the toilets. No seriously, it gets to the point where they want to do so much for you that you’re holding back on saying fuck off I can do it myself. Having said that it totally has the best dive center, ever. Although they put my in an XL wetsuit, INSULTED. Its fine, now we’re thinking of going back in October, which would be rad, obviously.
