November 13th and 14th, 2019 The next couple of days were very relaxed which was nice.  Brendan and our new friend Pascal did the dives to get their Deep Dive Certification and I hung out by the pool and explored the town of Dahab.  There are all kinds of restaurants and cafes that have lounge…

November 12th, 2019 Today we got to sleep in because we were not diving and enjoyed one last amazing buffet breakfast at the resort.  We checked out at noon after a little time at the pool and were headed to the next beach town called Dahab that was only an hour away.  For those interested…

November 11th, 2019 Happy Veterans Day to those back at home.  “The secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret to freedom, courage” – Thucydides (Beautiful quote that I believe rings true in many aspects of life). Today is our fourth and final day of diving in Sharm El Sheikh and it was absolutely amazing. …

November 10th, 2019 Today we had an early 5am start at the dive shop to go out to the wreck dive, SS Thistlegorm.  This is another top 10 dive site in the world and was quite expensive to do (an extra $100 per person on top of the regular diving price for today).  It is…

November 6th – 7th, 2019 After breakfast we got our transportation back to Cairo.  They shoved us in the backseat of a three-row car that was completely full.  It felt like a long journey back through the desert to reach Cairo.  We went back to Dahab Hostel after we had to jump out of a…

November 5th, 2019 Today we woke up early before sunrise so that we could watch it over the White Desert.  It was very pretty and afterwards our guide made us breakfast.  We then spent time walking around and viewing all the cool formations.  Once camp was packed up we went to Crystal Mountain.  It was…

November 4th, 2019 We got up early to be ready for our 6am ride to take us to the desert.  I always say you never know where the day is going to take you, and this especially felt true today.  I didn’t know anything about the place we were going until the day before, and…
