Fun Dive 1
Posted: Mon Jul 15, 2019 9:33 am
Hi all,
It was about time to have another Ocean adventure with the Almost4x4 divers, first of all thanks to [mention]giorgio[/mention] for the initiative.
We booked our trip with Nemo diving and the guys made a tour exclusively for our group. They have a nice boat with all necessary equipment, toilet and fresh water and a sun roof in love
We started the trip 2:30 pm and as soon as we left the harbor, sea started to get really rough. I never got sea sick before, but I was not feeling well when we reached the first dive side, Dibba Rock. It was challenging to set up the gear in the moving boat, but as soon as I jumped in the water I felt much better.
Unfortunetly my mask was super foggy and even letting water in it several times did not solve the problem, so I did not see much, not even the signs from the instructor, so my buddy had to repeat them for me every time. wtfsmilie
But at least I could see the big turtle that was crossing our path thumbsup
Back on board sea sickness caught me again and I was close to give up, but staying on board would make it worse, so I stayed in the water during surface time which helped and I decided to also do the second dive site, Artificial Reef.
I really like this dive site, as there are so many fishes and sometimes you are just inside a shoal in love
I made sure this time that my mask is ok, and this time I could see everything, even two guitar sharks grin
After the second dive we immediatley head back to the shore to avoid more sea sickness. When we reached again I realised that I was physically totally exhausted, more than usually. Luckily my friend was assigned driver that day and we reached Dubai 8:30 pm.
I hope we can establish regular ocean adventures as we now have some more divers among us. Thanks [mention]mpodroid[/mention] and Luca, [mention]osman[/mention] and friend and of course [mention]giorgio[/mention] for this trip.
I hope to see you all under water soon again, hopefully together with our other divers who could not attend this one.
