Hiya peeps!
Jan2620104:34 p.m.
another few weeks have passed and I'm still not in the habit of posting!. The weather here is good although has been a cool 17 degrees today! Not sure if you lot know but I had 3 extra days off last week due to very heavy rain! So much rain in fact that Aqaba was flooded! It rained for over 10hours in one go.......more rain than they have had in 60 yrs! None of the drains can cope and obviously the ground is baked hard so water just flows off it. The old building in the school was knee deep in water, we have marble floor tiles - really health and safety conscious! so last MOnday school was closed until Sunday! We were advised to keep low profile and not rub it in to the families.....so I kept low profile.....10 metres under the sea!
trying to look relaxed befre going for my dive. Believe it or not I had actually had panic attack in the pool 2 days before ......and I had not even tried to do any of the safety stuff - just merely getting used to breathing under the water.
againstill before entering the water......speakin of water.........check how blue it was!
a very good day was spent swimming with fishes, shame I didnt have camera as there was a newspaper on the bottom which a lot of fish were surrounding......almost like they were reading it!
Have managed to do one session with the almighty one ........usual pain except magnified due to 3 weeks off.
So more diving sessions to follow in the next few weeks and will get back into going to the gym - I promise.

emmteeyess 'I saw some fish and a newspaper down a back lane here - but there were a few discarded chips with it too so not quite the same thing! I've not been diving for a couple of years now but Malta was fabulous - so much more comfortable (ie warmer) than the North Sea and Oban. Cheers, MTS' added 26th Jan 2010
