And Doc, they are scary...

Went to RRI on a Bahamas Tourist Board FAM trip four or five years ago and one night we went to Club Med for dinner. The tourist board rep had to go meet some fellow staff on another trip, and so five British divers were left to fend for themselves. Within two minutes flat, we were joined at dinner – whether we wanted to be or not – by several GOs. Three of us escaped with our lives, one made it through the wire a couple of hours later, but our final faithful friend was MiA until the next morning. Shame on him, he missed the morning two-tank dive, but then, he had been diving all night… (Am I allowed to say that... he he)

Tell me about it, mate. Must have been drunk when I agreed to this one! But it is for charity!

Got blown out last September, so we have a 10 day window end July/beginning August, so this time we WILL do it...

I did try to persuade them to do, perhaps, New Providence to Andros or something warmer, but no, had to be the Channel. Lovely...

So our Red Sea jaunt is going to be a warm up – literally – just prior to us going for the dive.

Ok, I'll meet you in Egypt. I will try to talk sense into your head. Barring that, I will take your dive gear.

Mad dogs and Englishmen.

San Salvador is much mo betta than any French beach landing in the surf. They really weren't all that appreciative the last time we crawled ashore.

How many miles is your part? (meters, hectares, rods...whatever you call it)
 
Ironically, the local Bahamian family that owns Riding Rock Inn, boasts no scuba divers among them. But they hire good people.
 
'San Salvador is much mo betta than any French beach landing in the surf. They really weren't all that appreciative the last time we crawled ashore.'

Ha ha... You are right! The couple of military divers we've got in the team were getting a bit worried, as some of us were talking about wearing UK shirts, and planting a Union Jack, claiming the country for the Queen...

'How many miles is your part? (meters, hectares, rods...whatever you call it)'

Dunno yet. We are doing 45-minute stints each, but some aren't going to manage as many as others, so I reckon on doing around 6-8 mile across the Channel. God, i wish i was swimming around San Sal... With a nice rum punch waiting for me at the end...

Just to clarify... SAN Salvador and EL Salvador are two different places.

San Salvador is near the Caymans (I think).

El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America south of Honduras and east of Guatemala.

The capital of El Salvador happens to also be named "San Salvador", but it is land locked and the only diving possible there is 30 mins away in Lake Ilopango (volcanic lake). El Salvador, however does have a coast line along the Pacific.
 
I also stayed at Riding Rock Inn, saw hammerheads on every dive the whole week. Good diving but we had bad vis that trip but all in all good diving.
