Diving the Red Sea

The reason Egypt was so perfect for this moment in time was it was a terrific land adventure but just as importantly, checked another important destination off of my diving bucket list: the Red Sea. After years of doing crazy shore diving all over the world, I have come to appreciate a liveaboard (you sleep on a boat that is constantly moving around to new sites, this trip I did 7 nights). You can dive the same site every day and it never be the same dive in a place like that, so saving yourself the daily long boat rides allows you do just do more diving in a shorter period of time and makes night diving more accessible.

I really enjoyed my time on the Red Sea Aggressor II. The crew was awesome, the boat was comfortable, and the food was amazing and I’m still in awe of what came out of the tiniest kitchen you could ever imagine. Getting on a boat of strangers and sharing my cabin with someone I’ve never met before is extremely outside of my comfort zone. As the years go by, I am used to spending days at a time alone with the dogs and more comfortable with my introversion than ever. I was really pleased as it was a pretty fun group of people on the boat and at the end of the day, I felt really lucky to spend time with such interesting people from all over the world and my bunkmate Kim was awesome, I couldn’t have asked for better.

I’ll break the blog up in to fish and reef pics in this one, and a separate blog about my wreck dives.
