KOSHERY >>>

Matt, the peaceful protester, completed his Dive Master course yesterday. He completed all requirements and will be leaving for England on the 18th Oct.
Matt and I got on well, he’s a funny old chap, shame I couldn’t get him on the IDC but that’s his choice.
So usually when you complete your DM course the tradition is that you drink a beer through a snorkel, not matt. He doesn’t drink, or smoke for that matter. Matt decided to celebrate with Koshery all round. Koshery is the local Egytian dish, made up of pasta, rice, lentils and chickpeas all topped off with tomato sauce, beautiful.
So the past couple of days have been filled with fun dives. It’s a little different to guiding because you set your own path and get to explore a little more. If all goes to plan I’ll be completing my DM course over the next few days. On the 17th a large group (10 pac) will be arriving for their open water course. I will hopefully be fully qualified to assist on the course.
Ive been here for a month now and have learned a lot, but there is much more to come. I have met some great people and look forward to the challenges ahead. I sometimes think how much I miss certain elements of life at home, most of all my girl. We all have paths to create and follow and unfortunately its all part of the progression.
Ma ‘is salaama.
