Red Sea June 2017

What an amazing bunch of guys 😊

Mustafa 😎, Khalil 😆 and Zizo 😃 kept the boat running like clockwork always with a smile and a "Can do" attitude. ⏰

Captain Mahmoud Hassan took us from site to site safely, even when the seas sent everyone scurrying for the "anti-seasick medication" ⛲😵😳

The chef's produced food that a Michelin Chef would be proud of in the confines of their tiny galley, all done with a smile 🍰🍡🍜🍕

The Saloon managers set and cleared the tables for meals, served all the meals and kept the cabins and saloon and dining room clean. 🍴🍷🍵

The Seamen and mechanic were always busy doing something. If they weren't assisting the divers kitting up or un-kitting after a dive, they were dashing around in the Zodiac's ferrying divers to and from their dives. They were continuously hosing down the decks and literally scrubbing the boat down. In my opinion, their most daunting task was jumping into the water at each mooring site (often in pitch darkness) to tie the mooring lines ⚓. Nobody ever had a long face and smiles were all we ever saw 😊

All this was while they observed their holy month of Ramadan 😲

Did you know that Egypt has their very own Vin Diesel better known as Said? He'd definitely be able to stand in for Vin doing voice overs. He just needs some tattoos and bigger muscles 😂

I learnt 2 Arabic words on this trip .. not sure of the spelling ☺. HARAMI which means "thief" and SADIKI which means "friend".

I made new SADIKI on this trip 😃Read more
