In the next few days, I completed all the theory; I even passed the final theoretical exam (94 out of 100).

But my ears didn’t clear and I couldn’t complete my course. So I just went on dives with Mom and Ben and stayed on the boat while they were out there enjoying themselves in the water.

The most beautiful place in the Red Sea is Ras Mohammed

The most beautiful place in the Red Sea is Ras Mohammed. There are huge coral gardens there. I didn’t see them underwater, but even above the surface, it was quite beautiful.

We also went out almost every evening, went to a water pipe place and just walked around Naama bay in the evening. It’s amazing how much a place can change at night. And at 8 pm life is only starting in Sharm.

All in all I had a great journey, I will complete my course in a dive center in Kiev and then I’ll be able to dive and apply for other certificates, such as: Enriched Air Diver (breathing Nitrox instead of air, which means 32% oxygen, instead of 21%), Advanced Open Water Diver (diving to 30m) and other specialty courses. Who knows, maybe I’ll become a Master Diver?
