June 2003

June 2003 saw Eve and I back again at the Mövenpick Resort, this time for a one-week holiday. I was fortunate enough to meet Andreas Kleisun, who became my dive buddy whenever Eve did not want to dive. One particularly memorable jeep safari dive (Dive 666) was to El Khaf. Only Eve and I had asked to go on this particular afternoon's jeep safari. We expected it to be cancelled but Subex generously allowed the dive to go ahead with the result that Eve and I had our Dive Instructor Peter Hasler and the jeep crew all to ourselves. Peter pointed out many "sights" to us that we might otherwise have missed, for example a sea grass ghost pipefish in the shallows near the end of the dive. Other Subex Dive Instructors who helped me make this another very enjoyable holiday were Christina Leuppi, Steffan Schreiber, Oliver Schontag and Martina Reicher.
