Scuba anyone?

[Giles]

GREAT news Oliver and Henry.......Paula asks where are/were you.......

[Karol]

@Cole congratulations! It’s a beginning of a wonderful journey!!

[Cole]

@Giles we are currently in Sarigerme, Turkey.

Enjoying the good weather, the warm water and the buffet.

Some proper relaxation after gruelling journey to Raja Ampat, before we switch to the Live Aboard. I’m so looking forward to 11 dive days.

[Bridger]

Looks like you are having a terrible Christmas @Karol, I hope it gets better soon.

[Karol]

@Bridger somebody has to

[Bridger]

Thank you @Karol, on behalf of all the somebodies

[Giles]

Be there in a few weeks......

[Karol]

@Giles sweet! It seems to be a perfect season.
Even the reefs close to shore seem to be quite fine. We went snorkelling for an hour today and it looked very decent. I can only imagine how it’s going to be further from civilisation.

[Giles]

Been on the must do list for a few years...We will do 11 days in a resort and then 7 on a live aboard......

[Karol]

@Giles we reversed the order.

[Giles]

We booked the live aboard to dive with a group of Filipino friends we met through Kai, our Filipono retailer. We have dived with them/some of them in The Philippines and Socorro before. The journey is long and expensive, so we added the resort on, to make it more worthwhile......

[Giles]

Oh, and as Paula has just reminded me. Our preferred option would have been boat and then resort, but someone has to be back to go fishing in Oman

[Karol]

@Giles well,
@Madame-Buttonfly

[Karol]

Photos will have to wait. We are at Misool, this is the first time with one bar of LTE in days.
Bloody good dives! Today plenty of sharks, the reefs healthy and very diverse. Few more days here and we are going back to central Raja Ampat.

[Karol]

The final list of dives

[Giles]

Brilliant. Wonder which of those we will do.....

Between a snow storm on Monday and an ice storm that’s lasted for two days now, the thoughts of a tropical location with warm waters and fish is extremely appealing. Enjoy the dive’s!!

We are reconsidering our yearly trip to the Caribbean as of now. We didn’t book one because we didn’t want to pull the oldest out of classes…after this week, not so sure.
