Do I look Russian?

About sharks, volcano's and the flu

I’m tired. Or exhausted, rather. The season is about to end and that’s a good thing, because I don’t think I would have lasted much longer. The dives have been fantastic, I’ve seen things under water I had never seen before, we’ve had ...

Tuesday 16 March 2010, 11.00 hrs My last blog is dated 18 December 2009. That’s almost three months ago, shame on me! I have no idea how time went by so fast, but I do recall that on a regular basis I was telling myself: I should start ...

Ma'salama El Gouna

7 am. The alarm clock goes off. It reminds me of a song that a school mate wrote at high school, about how each morning his alarm would go off at 7 am, about how his boring daily routine was getting on his nerves and how he was dreaming off ...

Lucky woman

I believe with all my heart that I am the luckiest woman on earth. I love my job. Even as it’s getting colder. I can’t get enough of finding little funny fish that are rare in the Red Sea (such as the Frog Fish we found again today during ...

Hello Q4-2009!

It’s hard to believe that more than a month has passed since my last blog. Time seems to become more ephemeral as the years go by. Yet so much has happened over the last few weeks that I’m going to have to restrain my Odyssian writing ...

Underwater marvels

The heat is on!

The widget on my Mac dashboard says it’s 37 degrees outside, but it feels more like a sweltering 55 degrees. The dusty breeze is only slightly cooling, therefore I opted to stay inside for the rest of the afternoon and write my next blog in a ...

No, it's not the Egyptian divers yell... And it's not a scary disease... And it's not a banking abbreviation either... But yes, in the diving business we use abbreviations too and this one is the newest addition to my resume: Open Water Scuba ...

It's a Wicked culture

We had been driving around for three days since we got up North, desperately looking for a place to fish Barramundi. Barramundi: one of the main reasons, if not THE reason why Stefano suggested (or rather unilaterally decided) that it would be ...
