      @JDelage Exactly!!!
      And with good crew the enjoyment is great! Last october we did most of the dives in around 85min.
      OK all of us use 15L tanks but the key is to have around you the people with similar SAC and its all peachy!

        When we went to Hurghada on the first day going out a reef (no idea which one it was because I have done the best to eradicate it from my mind), I looked behind us as we steamed, there were less boats crossing the English Channel on D Day. Once we started diving, the boats dropped name plates into the water so you know which boat o get back onto....If I never go back, it will be too soon.

        We tried Egypt because it would be great to have a good dive destination "close" to home, but we realised that for us, time is not of the essence and doing really special shit is more important than convenience.

        We have friends that absolutely love Sharm, but I simply cant see us being persuaded to go again.

              Made no real difference, but i had a little negative buoyancy when I took my mask off, and could not see I was sinking 😀

                      @Giles 😃 Not sure if that was seal team six or six teen seals. 🤣
                      Would love to join You, it's been nothing but 4 degrees Celsius dives here in Stockholm's archipelago during the spring.

                        Getting ready for a muck dive with @Madame-Buttonfly. You'd never know I had just bust the zip of her wetsuit.

                            She put my spare "cardigan" over the top, and all was good.....

                            But I have repurpose a couple of different sized cable ties for pointers. They are what the guides use here and it's a brilliant idea.....

                                Rudimentary marina to start off a diving safari. I took the first photo after arrival and the second one after getting out of bed. The light of the day has not improved things.
