In September seven members of our club spent the week on Ghazala Explorer in the Red Sea. We chose the Northern Wrecks and Reefs itinerary. We booked our trip through ScubaTravel, taking full advantage of the discount available to BSAC members. We had a fabulous week completing 21 dives – including 4 on the iconic Thistlegorm, as well as more on the wrecks of the Ghiannis D, Carnatic, Chrisoula K, Ulysses and the Barge.
Classic Red Sea reef dives were completed on Thomas, Jackson, and Shark Reefs to name but a few. The end of our last dive of the week at Shaab El Erg saw dolphins come to visit – what an end to a phenomenal week of diving.
The old adage ‘dive, eat, sleep, repeat’ was our mantra for the week and it’s pretty much all that we did while on board!
We lived our lives by the bell – if it rang and your hair was dry it was time for a dive briefing and if it rang while your hair was wet it was time to eat!
The crew and our dive guides Ahmed, Mousa and Bebo were all exceptional. The food was tasty and plentiful and some of us even managed to put on some weight during the week – even with 21 dives done!
We all had a fabulous week and have already booked another trip on Ghazala Explorer through ScubaTravel with 12 club members going.
