Hi all! I went ahead and dove with a spot called Al-Haddad. Awesome awesome experience. I was charged less than 500 SRA for 2 dives today with equipment as well as being covered for a boat trip which will include a dive of chicken wreck tommorow with equipment. Which is legit unheard of. I immediately pulled the trigger and swiped my card.
This was my first experience in true blue water and my God I almost cried. Coming from New York City it’s a huge difference in visibility. I giggle as I write this. im talking about Can’t see your arm in front of you to now being able to see as far as the eye can. The marine life was overwhelming, as were the corals. My jaw hit the floor when the owner was apologetic about the conditions of the water visibility due to recent rain past days. He said the conditions are getting better but the conditions I saw today were by far some of the most beautiful things my brain and eyes have processed. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow will hold too bad I didn’t have my camera. I kind of made a big deal about this. Got some people upset dive master wasn’t happy when I signaled him to exit just so we could get my camera. But haha good day it was. I’ll be ready tommorow with GoPro in hand.
