Hello from the Middle East

[Rebecca Hatherley]

Hello Everyone,

I live in Qatar, in the Middle East, beside Saudi Arabia and Dubai. I am on the beach every Friday morning around 5 am, to beat the heat and prevent from being cooked alive--currently the temperature is hitting 47 C (117 F) daily. haahahaha

I teach diving (PADI) with a team of friends.

I have lived in Qatar for 12 years now, and I am just starting my 13th year living here. I teach math at a college, for our adult students in the Engineering/business/IT programs.

I am from the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada--an island baby.

See you all around,

Rebecca

Sounds like an interesting gig! A bit of a temperature swing though Vancouver to Qatar. Welcome!

Welcome! Those temps have nothing on August NYC subway platform heat

Welcome to ScubaBoard. I visited Qatar a few years ago but didn't dive there. Out here on Catalina Island the temperature hit 120° F a few weeks ago. Good thing I'm on an island two blocks from the ocean!

Now the question in your thread about traversing sand dunes with deflated tires makes sense.

Welcome!

Welcome!

We do this on the motorcycle too...40psi on asphalt...as low as 25 in mud/sand.....rear only!

On the track, both are lowered considerably.

I've seen it done on a beach, too.
