Scuba Board Red Sea Encounter

[Marek K]

Actually, a more-basic question may be exactly what an "Encounter" is... Just a get-together for dinner in Dahab somewhere; or a dive; or a bunch of dives?

The reason I ask is that we're booked down at the Dahab Hilton, and will be diving -- sorry guys! -- with Sinai Divers there.

Marek, it's whatever we make it.
I'd like to meet all these people I write with nearly every day. i'd like to dive with all of you, too.

Well, dinner somewhere in town as a minimum.

A dive or two would be great too... assuming we could get picked up by whoever hosts the dive(s)? Do you dive professionals down there all know each other?

No we don't know each other, unfortunately.
I think a dive or two would be difficult, since you already booked with a dive op.

Well, an encounter can be something like meeting friends from all over the world, sharing stories around a bonfire on the beach, or restaurant or any other place like a scuba club.
Typically, it will involve digesting some food , music, UW videos/photos of participants, sharing bubbles underwater etc. etc. I guess everyone is open to ideas.

Jai Bar, I like that. Especially the bon fire on the beach. But we have to keep it small since night temp will probably be about 30C.

Hmmm... I would certainly have expected there to be a lot of networking and cooperation among local guides, divemasters, and others -- even though you're competitors...

You guys do hotel pick-ups all over the place anyway, don't you? Only problem for us would be to get our equipment re-packed and to the hotel's front door... It might be nice to spend a day that way...
