I’m in Hurghada, where I’ll stay for a couple of days, and then head down south to Marsa Alam. It was a lovely day that included a reunion with my first scuba diving instructor, Ahmad Boody, and finally got to meet Ismail Marzouk, a technical diving instructor whom I’ve heard a lot about.

Boody and Ismail helped me out with shopping for some needed diving gear, and hopefully Ismail will be introducing me to technical diving by next week.
