Been awhile since I have been on and posted anything because I have been in lovely Iraq for the past 6 months surfing the sand. But now that I have reached my 6 month point it's time for vacation so I booked a 2 week dive trip to the Maldives off the coast of Sri Lanka. I am cooling my heals in Kuwait right now working at Camp Buerhing until my flight out next Sunday to Doha, Qatar and then on to Male where a seaplane flight will bring myself and dive companion Stacy (flying in from San Francisco, CA) to Kuredu Island Resort for the first week of diving. On the 27th we board the liveaboard MY Monsoon for another week of diving. One last in Male then back to reality in the sand for another 6 months. However, I just consider that planning time for my next dive adventure to Thailand -- Phi Phi Islands with the possibility of a side trip to Bali or other island dive destination in Asia.
While I will truly miss the cold waters off New England, heavy weights, wetsuit, and the +/- 20 feet of visiblity I will have to console myself with the lovely tropical views both above and below water and 100+ feet vis and water temps hovering around the 87-89 degree mark. God I miss NE diving
Hope everyone has a safe and prosperous dive season there and I'll file a trip report when I get back. Most of this of course was just a little poking for those confined to the cold waters back home so please take no offense!!!!
Be safe,
Tim
