Another series in the Scuba Duba Dive Blog posts of peoples first diving experiences. This time we're speaking with Hannah who learnt to dive in Egypt.
"The first time I donned scuba kit and descended into the ocean was off the east coast of Australia at the Great Barrier Reef. This was a novice dive during which I swam around happily looking wide eyed at a magical under water world. I loved the underwater world and was instantly at ease with the scuba equipment. As such, a year and half later in Cairo, Egypt, I had the opportunity and signed up to do the PADI Open Water course. After the theory and pool sessions, friends and I traveled to Safaga on Egypt's Red Sea coast to board Legends - it is a legendary dive boat on which I spent many subsequent weekends bobbing about in the Red Sea going from one spectacular dive site to another. At 0900, on this inaugural morning, the sky was blue and the sun radiating heating, I kitted up and stepped off the back to the boat into a clear blue sea. El Shehr was the location of the first dive during which I swam around looking wide eyed at the magical under water world. In fact, on every dive I swim around wide eyed looking at the colours, shapes & sizes of the majestic under water world. Dolphins, corals, moray eels, octopus, turtles, my favourite blue spotted rays and so much more - it is breathtaking every time. "
