Yesterday I was on a Boat called Wind K, it's a boat speciallized in arranging trips for the Thistlegorm everyday, I witnessed this situation: a Russian guy (early 50's IDC staff), his wife (late 30's Rescue diver), and his daughter (not more than 13 years old Jr. advanced open water) ..
- he decided to take them down to the Thistlegorm,
- the main guide of the boat refused,
- the Russian guy said ok, i take her on my resposibility
- the main guide guide stuck to his decision, and told the Russian guy: "if u insist taking the girl down we will check her depth gauge, and it MUST not exceed 21m., otherwise we will report ur Diving Organization"
- it ended up, and the girl didn't dive at all.

i think the main guide of the boat was right, regardless how experienced the little girl was, she can't afford such a dive.

The guide was absolutly right!!!
I'm suprised that he behaved this was because - unfortunately - I saw a lot of guides that allow almost everything.
Thistl is way too difficult for a 13 yo.... and these currents there....

People (like the Russian one) are strange sometimes ...(ok this was an understatement - to say the truth I think he acted as an idiot)

I think the guide was right too. Was that Ayman of Wind K? He's very experienced.

Your photos are good RSD. Where did you shot them?

 

[redseadiver]

- Mania, Yeah, I live in Hadaba, right in front of the new (under construction) Aqua Park .. in fact it's gonna be a lot of fun when it's done
- Shadow, yeah it was Ayman, it's true, he's a very good guy. Thanks on the comment on the pic's, i got them in Ras Za'atar (Ras Mohamed)

If I stay in Hadaba then I live next to Sheikh Abdullah Market - which I think we all know ))
I envy you so much. I wish I could be there now....
