The End Of This Chapter is upon us>>>>>>>

So im sitting here in the sun, on a comfortable chair listening to great music and soaking up some sun for one of the last times at Le Merdien resort Dahab, the best five star hotel in town. As you can tell my job is terribly stressful and it has been hard to find the time to write this blog.
On a serious note it is nine days before I return to the UK after my time in Egypt. Poseidon divers have looked after me better than I could have ever imagined. When I arrived in Dahab I was a rescue diver with a passion for diving and a passion to learn more. I am now preparing to leave, now a PADI Open water instructor and TDI extended range diver with a multitude of dives under my belt. When I first arrived I felt the journey was just beginning but now the journey is far from over it just has a stronger knowledge and a greater passion.
I have a funny feeling I will return to Dahab, it has a great sense of community which pulls you in with great force. I feel very welcome here and everyone who visits never has a bad word to say. My friends Tom and Helen gave me surprise visit last week when they turned up at my local drinking hole. I never in a million years expected to turn around and see two of my best friends from University standing in front of me. They stayed for just under a week and were both taken in by Dahabs charm. We cycled to the legendary Blue Hole and dined in the restaurants of Dahab. Friday night I DJ’d a Rush and I played “Samuai”, awesome tune. The final night we ate…….. a lot and then headed off to see the shisha man and smoked shisha……. A lot of shisha.
So just over a week remains, I hope to dive the legendary Arch one more time before I go. I am working right through to the last day. Well I say work but diving in the red sea, teaching a sport I am so very passionate about cant really be classed a work, can it?
