This weekend Seth and I did our Open Water Dives for our SCUBA class. We did them in the Mediterranean Sea at the Montazah Palace. Montazah was the summer residents of the Egyptian Kings when Cairo got too hot, it is still used today by the president. We’ve been here several times with friends who own private beach houses here and there are huge lovely gardens to walk about. It was pretty exciting to be scuba diving in the Mediterranean with the Kings Palace in the background.
We spent two days in the water working on our open water skills. The first dive did not go well for me (Kristal), but I kept at it and the rest of the weekend went great! From our starting class of nine we were already down to four by the time we got to the water skills. After our first open water day, Seth and I were the only ones that returned for the second day. Hopefully, the other two will try to complete the class next weekend. In addition to the skills we had to perform, Seth did five open water dives and I did four. Unfortunately, the visibility was horrible; but we have officially passed our class! We are now certified Scuba Divers! We’re so excited and can’t wait to go dive in the Red Sea or do an archeological dive here in Alex.

Yeah!!! Welcome to the club! The Mediterranean doesn't have good visibility? The Carribean is fantastic to dive in, you can see for miles!
VERY COOL! Scuba diving is always something that Sheri and I have wanted to do. Well, I have, and tried to convince Sheri to try as well!
