Egyptian Diving
by Ned Middleton
Ned Middleton describes how he & team Divers from Diving World discovered wreck the Egyptian Red Sea.
I joined the M. V. Miss Nouran & soon discovered her to be one the finest Live-aboard Boats currently operating the Red Sea. Easy to say I know but believe me I saw much the competition over the next three weeks & well you don t want to know about some those much less Dive with them
Our Dive Guide was well known local character Ali Baba man who has been deaf since birth but who can lip-read five languages. Ali Baba an exceptionally fine Diving Guide & Instructor with great sense humour & world where other Diving Boats can often make things chaotic for the novice his one outstanding quality he cares
Being the week before Christmas there were only ten Divers on board vessel equipped to take 16. Below Decks there are 6 double berths & at deck level there further four-man berth all with en-suite & means your own shower & flushing toilet. Food served after each the three main Dives the day with the evening meal delayed for those who wish to get an extra night dive into an already busy schedule & do tuck there plenty.
The crew were pretty amazing & looked after our every need. We were assured they were the best & soon became easy to see why. They also worked very hard one minute they were cooking cleaning & looking after us & the next they were manning the ropes laying out mooring lines driving the inflatable boat or simply helping us & out the water.
As with all such trips we were fairly disparate bunch with variety standards experience & background. This included two pairs Technical Divers who had ordered Nitrox. I have yet to use mixed gases but the high level expertise these four Divers was going to prove most useful the days ahead.
