Re: Dahab

I am going to be in Dahab from 20.11.2005 to 27.11.2005.
I would like to join some other freedivers in the area.
I am not much of a nuisance...but some photos might end up on Deeperblue.

Re: Dahab

I'm always up for freediving or training when I'm not working! I'm with Desert Divers in the center of Dahab. Come say hello if you're passing by.

If someone coming here could bring a couple of paradisia noseclips (for a nice price ;-) for me and Fred "turtle" we'd be ever grateful!

See you :-)

Re: Dahab

@octopus: can't wait for You to come back from that week and tell us what You experienced in Dahab. Please keep us posted!

The pictures from Dory are very inviting and I want to dive there some day.
Are these cliffs going straight into the water? Is it possible to jump from them? I am just curious

It looks like I will be going to dahab the week at the end of february into the beginning of March. I can't wait to meet other freedivers soon. I am counting the days!

cheers,
Gerald

Re: Dahab

I do not have to wait to come back...there are plenty of internet cafes around Dahab. Taxi ride one way from Sharm's airport should cost you 150-200 LE (Egyptian pounds , 1 LE= 1 Bristish Pound). They'll start negotiating at 300LE.

I can get you photos of accomodation if you want.

Air day temperature about 26C, night about 21C, sea temperature about 23C (no termocline). Occassionally windy, but nothing too bad. I am using one-piece 5mm, no hood, as I play with my camera most of the time.

I am in contact with Annelie and Fred and hopefully we are off to the Blue Hole tommorow. You might even see them in action if they give me permission to post photos here.

I dive alone almost always. So if I do not drown I'll check board.
Please ask, so I can get you the answers while I am here.

As for Dorothea...Yes, it is possible to jump off the cliffs. I know the person who did it...but one could question his sanity.

(Edited: photos removed temporarily)

Re: Dahab

It is much easier to negotiate taxi from Dahab than from the airport. You can easily get 150LE from Dahab. Airport taxi drivers are pain in the bottom. It might be an idea that someone sends taxi for you from Dahab.

Re: Dahab

hi holger,

that depends mainly on what temperatures you are comfortable with. december until march the water temp drops to around 20 celsius and in combination with the usual strong winds and short daylight hours makes for some rather chilly diving. 5mm suit is the minimum. also, you definitely need some jumpers, etc for the afternoons/evenings.

i always recommend april or may, water temp is 22-23 celsius but it's already noticably warmer outside.

if you need more detailed info feel free to pm me.

cheers,

roland
