Thats right, we've finally started our open water dives; we completed the first two this past weekend. But Friday night Jolene was the control officer at a party so we knew it was going to be a late night and didn't want to get up early on Saturday, next weekend is out because the girls think they have to leave the country and visit Dubai so we will finish up in a couple of weeks.
On these dives we went down to about 40-45 feet, visability was okay, definiatley better out further from the coast. I'm already lining up a dive about 3 hours north of Jeddah off the coast of Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, to visit an WW I Turkish troop transport wreck. There are a half dozen of us from the consulate planning on diving the wreck. So here are a few pictures from our dive.
Here is Crystal and the student dive master Christian.
And a selfie of me
Some coral, have to work out good settings on the camera for deeper water than snorkeling.
Christian again
And me
Crystal and her flowing red hair
Our Finish instructor Anu. She's been awesome!
And Jolene sporting the Shortie wet suit.
And yes we will be spending a few days in Dubai. We are looking forward to getting away for a bit and it will be really nice for the girls since they can dress like Westerners there and can forget the abaya for a while. We'll post pics and tell you all about it when we get back.
Cheers!
