Scuba Diving in Sharm El Sheikh Egypt

Pin It

I'm back after a fantastic scuba diving holiday in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
We did our PADI open water course last year and went back to the same hotel (Reef Oasis) to get some more diving in!
The sea seemed a bit colder this year and there seemed to be less fish around than prevoius years which was a shame but we still had a great time scuba diving and snorkeling.
I also tried out my new underwater camera, its a Panasonic Lumix DMC - TS3 It's quite good but i'll have to save up for the underwater camera case for my Canon D60 as i'm so used to using a manual camera and only being able to use an auto mode is frustrating!
I'm glad to say we didn't see any sharks while we were there, although i did get a fright from a 3ft Trigger fish who decided to chase me! I think I scared him away with my bright pink fins kicking franticly as I swam in the opposite direction ... he had big teeth!
I've put all of my underwater photos in to a slide show (audio visual presentation) that you can see on youtube here

And all my photos from around the hotel are on an audio visual presentation here

 

I thought i'd make these AV's from my un-edited holiday snaps instead of uploading the pictures one by one to the net as it's much quicker and easier for everyone to see.

I also have many pictures here that i'll be uploading to a stock library and my POD sites that are a better quality so keep watching, their will be lots more to see over the next few weeks!

I've had my brake now and have to go back and sort our house out, the builders are in replacing our kitchen and i have lot's of graphics work to do too, i'll need another holiday after all of this!

Satan on holidays .. or not! (part 3)

Pin It

Hello eveyone, it's satan the cat again!
I thought i'd pop on and write another blog before my pre-dinner nap and let you all know that i've been told i MUST stay here and guard the house while Pixie and Rich go to Egypt!
I found out that they weren't going to Turkey so don't really mind! I've heard that the Egyptians are rather fond of cats but it's going to be way too hot at this time of year and my black fur and I can't handle too much heat, so while there away scuba diving i'll be here with the lovely lady who lives next door for company.
She's such a nice lady and remembers to brush me before i have my breakfast, lunch, dinner and midnight feast unlike Pixie who only brushes me before my breakfast!
I'll kick up a fuss though and ignore Pixie and Rich when they start packing their bags and ignore them both again when they arrive home to make them think i'm not happy staying here with the lady next door, it'd only upset them if they thought i won't miss them!

Anyway enough of me now and i'll tell you what Pixie has been up to this week with her Hippy Gift Shop.
So far i've been thrown off her lap 4 times in a fit of excitement as she's gained another 4 Todays Best Awards for these items in her shop

She's also been updating her 'about me and my art and photography' squidoo lens that you can see here Squidoo lens - about me and my art It features a rather attractive picture of myself too so i'm quite happy about that.

I'm off for my nap now and am going to start practicing my sulking impressions in time for when they go away!
