Dive the Red Sea

“Our dive leader noted that the water was saltier than other areas. Both of us had new gear and this extra salt meant we were very light. The extra 2 kilos the guide had didn’t really help. I knew I was in trouble early. David handed me the iPhone with a floaty strap. Even that little bit of extra buoyancy caused me to shoot to the surface. Luckily we were still in 10′ of water. Both of us fought with being too light for the entire dive. I normally have perfect buoyancy and can move up and down with simple breaths. By the end of the dive I kept my breath expelled as long as possible to keep down in the water. Not a way to enjoy scuba diving in the Red Sea!”

“Life on board was quite relaxed but it can also be quite exhausting. We were limited to four dives a day but it was not compulsory to dive all of them. After dives we would sit and chat, getting to know our other (boat companions) and once the final dive was done for the day, for many it was party time! We were fed well on board the Hyatt. You have no idea how hungry one gets after a dive.”
