Latest Minute Panic - Red Sea

***Louby Lou*** · 26th January 2006, 18:40

Right then you lot

Beanie and I have one day of normality (well work) left to go before we set off for Gatwick and on to sunny Sharm and all aboard Diamond for a week of sun, sea and rust

Does anyone have any last minute tips or anything useful they would like to impart to us about diving the unit in warm water etc...

Probably nothing different to cold except don't go for your suit inflate because it won't be there

Its been a while since I was last out there and that was on OC

So any top travel tips this way please

Ta muchly

take warm clothes I have just come back from Sharm and its freezing (well relatively so of course)
if you plan on longish dives take a drysuit water temp is 20c or so

if you are flying with Brittania (thompsonfly) book extra baggage in advance excess at the checkin is £9 a kilo and they have a zero tolerance policy

if poss avoid big yellow boxes they just cause unneeded attention

stick loads of heay stuff in hand luggage and put it in the left luggage service before you check in

I fly to sharm at least once a month so I have learnt a trick or two

have a goodun

After every dive open the scrubber and let the lid dry out. You'll get fewer cell errors that way.

For every descent, make an ascent.

When I read the topic I thought How cute, she has separation anxiaty from RBW.

But last minute advice ... breath in, breath out, repeat as necessary.

Don't forget to pack the sun screen and thoroughly enjoy.

Have a great trip, folks, and bring back lots of pics!

Lou,

Don't you think it's not nice telling us again you are going to Sharm when people like myself have to go to work........may be I am just jealous

. Have some fun and to take full advantage of a wetsuit, if you are cold just hit the AC button and ......piss in the suit.....like an aircondition

Have fun you and Beanie and get some nice pics back.

Remeber sun cream or else

Have a good'un. Drinks lots of water. Air out your head after each dive. Buy some Immodium. Analyse the % of the O2 fills you get before you caliibrate. Don't flush loo paper down the loo, put it in the bin. Say "hello" to Steve and Marlin for me! Get lots of good stories to write about on here.

See you when you get back!

Don't break your wrist like I did two weeks ago on the Obsession in Hurghada. And take your drysuit.

Buy a case of beer at the duty free on the way in to Sharm, and be prepared for long boring queues at the airport on the way out.
Have a fun time!
