Thanks @orionsbeltbuckle. All my scuba scribe articles/series are written primarily for this purpose. I wanted to write a kinda creative narrative, without too much technical stuff. So that non-divers could get a picture of what it's like scuba diving and maybe take it up. Glad you enjoyed it m8 😉 🐟🐠
Hey raj808 great shots and story. I love finding what are obviously real people on steemit. I too am real and not a bot. I have followed and liked you and will continue to as your content comes. Thanks for being real.
Thanks @buttcoins I have also followed you now and look forward to reading some of your posts :) yes I agree that there is far too much automation on steemit. Although I am new on here I'm quite tech savvy so it hasn't taken me too long to work out a few tricks to try to get noticed. I recently recommended steemit to a friends mother and I suspect she has given up already with all this minnows, dolphin Wales business, it can all be a little confusing lol
Excellent post @raj808. I enjoyed your photos and story about your dives. I upvoted and resteemed your post, and followed you. Glad to meet you on Steemit!
Thanks @sallykwitt scuba diving and creative writing are really my passions so I will be posting lots of similar stories along with poems. Nice to meet you too :) I have followed your feed and look forward to checking out your posts
Hey @raj808! I found you through a ReSteem of this post by @sallykwitt . We have diving and some other interests in common, and so I have followed you. Keep it up...
Will do @transcript-junky part 2 in the Egypt dive trip series is coming up either today or tomorrow so watch out for that :) thanks for the upvote, I have followed your feed + look forward to reading some of your posts
Great write up! I spent a week diving out of hurghada in egypt back in 2004. Great diving but super busy. Have you done any diving on the saudi side of the red sea? The reefs there are much much better, way fewer tourists for obvious reasons :)
Thanks :) We were out of Marsa Alam for this trip and were really lucky cause it was end of the season early December if memory serves me right, so we were the only boat on all the sites we visited. I've heard good things about Hurghada, especially for shore diving. No, unfortunately, I haven't been any further south than St Johns. There were people on the boat on the trip I'm describing in these first 3 scuba scribe posts who had been diving liveaboard in Sudan and they said it was much more pristine. I'm in love with Egypt waters though, I seem to have extremely good luck in Egypt red sea. I saw some really impressive stuff on my last trip to the red sea, I'm going to do another scuba scribe post soon called the red sea revisited and I don't want to spoil the surprise but I had a very lucky encounter with two large marine species and have some amazing pic's/footage of it. Coming soon for sure ;-) lol
excellent story @raj808. I've always wanted to try scuba and you've set the table very nicely with your text.
