So, We made it over to Divers Down in Fujairah and had an enjoyable dive at Three Rocks behind Snoopy Island. It was a nice, easy dive for my son's first salt water dive and an educational reintroduction for me (I did a few shore dives decades ago but nothing for many years). We tried to guess at how much lead we would need to add to our fresh water weight and over estimated, making us too heavy. John, our guide, quickly solved that little problem and the rest of our dive proceeded with noticeably more comfort.
Many thanks to a great crew of people who greeted us with smiles and enthusiasm.
I hope to have a chance to go back before we return to the States but, if that isn't in the cards, we will o home with some good memories and the intention of returning to dive with DD again someday.
Many thanks to Searcaigh for his help in arranging our dive and an enjoyable return trip to Dubai. He is a likable, friendly guy and I enjoyed our conversation immensely.
If any of you SB members ever find yourselves in the UAE, get your butts over to the West Coast and dive with a terrific bunch of people who obviously love to dive and are eager to share that love with others.
There was one incident that darkened the day. Our uide was originally supposed to be Matt but, on the way to the boat, he fell and hurt his ankle and was unable to dive. That's when John stepped up to go out with us. I hope Matt is doing better by now.
So, many thanks to the crew at Divers Down for an enjoyable and memorable day.
