Discovery dive in Lagoona

28.9.2009

Hi,
we were in Ras Mohamed National Park, visited local reefs and this time we will visit Straits of Tiran. It´s tuesday morning and I am going to diving center. I have this morning two choices, divers boat or intro boat. I know that Hanka has already group of divers so I choose intro boat. I will spend all day with the russian instructors and cameraman Adham and also with Czech clients which came to do their discovery dive. I don´t know who is it but I am not worry soon I´ll know them. In marina I listen to my mother language and I find out also that these people speak well english. After all paper work and permitions in marina we moved to the boat. On the boat I recieved another papers which must be filled before diving - liabiliry release and medical statement. I introduce myself to very nice family from Czech Republic and than I speak first about boat rules, papers which they got from me and program of today. As I wrote, we went to Straits of Tiran where we arrive in two hours. In this time they can relax and do sunbathing. We finished papers and realy we relax. I am in saloon, I want to sleep or relax but it is not possible because Adham is making fun and all the time disturb.

After 2 hours we reach Laguna and we made briefing about discovery dive. Adham is explaining all in english and I translete only a few words to father of the family because he already was with Johny two years ago and made intro. Other family members listen to Adham´s english briefing. After russian, english and czech briefing on board start to be busy and in the platform are the first people and jumping to do their discovery dive. Girls have 15 groups, it means they spend long time under water but we hope that everybody will be after satisfied. From our Czech group are first two guys than father and last one will be Marketa. All are going first time under water except father so let´s see what they will say after their discovery dive. First one took UW camera with him and made a lot of pictures, after his intro passed UW camera to another one and explain his experience from the first dive in his life. In the beginnig was some problems because they could not go down because of the boats moving on the surface. Anyway his dive was so nice but seems to be very short. Wow second one is back also, UW camera is comming to fathers hands and he has no problems at all and in a few seconds he was under water together with his instructor. Again we listen to his diving experience. When we waited for the guys we went to the water, girls swom and I just jumped to the water because I was not feeling good. Look pappa is back, he was little bit sad because he made only 3 pictures and film in the camera finished and Marketa lost her chance to make also some pictures. Pappa came back so fast and was angry about it but he also likes his discovery dive. In this time also Marketa dissapear under water to discover corals and fishes in the Red Sea. After her come back all of them jumped into the water to do snorkeling. Pappa went another way then the others, they spent more time together with Adham, speak to him. Last group finished and now comming the best part of the day, maybe only for me but it´s lunch time. Lunch was so nice and tasty. On the boats I found the best kitchen in Sharm El Sheikh.

After lunch on the way back to marina I called Hanka. We had no time to speak during the day and I wanted to know what they so today. Their boat was behind ours and we could here only engeenes because all wanted to be soon in marina. Anyway I heard that divers saw shark, turtle, fishes and corals. I hope that next time I´ll see shark also because I did not dive today. No problem I hope, I still have enough time...
