saltfree in Dahab

[samdive]

Laura - some of the not to techie angels might also be interested so don't make it too scary (Ben has said he might come but not if its all super techie, I imagine the same might apply to a few others)

 

[laura storm]

Are you guys banning me from living on the edge :ban ??? Now you know that won't work, tell Ben I'll hold his hand rofl

I'd love to go.....but my hols don't fall until later in October. :waterwork
I'll have to make do with Chepstow and a visit to Nice in August....

 

[samdive]

sorry! we did try to match up dates with school holidays for our teaching contingent - but all joining in Donna's honeymoon seemed like an opportunity not to miss really...

Laura - plan what you like but please bear in mind that the nearest chamber is 1 1/2 hours away across a mountain range

Grrrr, we're really struggling with flights!! At the moment we can't leave Cyprus until Monday 10th, fly to Cairo and have a 9 hour stopover, leave for Sharm 05.55 Tues morning and then onto Dahab by taxi.....not looking very promising!!

 

[samdive]

you could consider getting a bus from cairo to Dahab, lotta can organise that but it takes about 10 hours I think.... how about flying via elsewhere in europe? if you can get a cheap flight to pretty much anywhere in germany you can probably get out to sharm straight away

 

[samdive]

by the way - some people apparently did not believe/understand the email I sent out - the price quoted includes -

all the freediving excursions listed on the email
AND
accomodation for the week in the Seven Heaven hotel in half of a twin room

yes its cheap, the hotel is more of a hostel than a high class hotel but its perfectly functional unless you miss your free fluffy dressing gown and spa bath...

any questions, just shout

Wot..no mini bar!

 

[samdive]

just a reminder that I need to know and get deposits by the end of March - so far no one definite : ( so if you do want to come make sure I know about it or I'll plan something else

Sam,

Wanted to come but i'm on holiday with the wife and in-laws (boooo)

Almost any other week in sept / oct would have been good.

Sorry,

David

 

[Almostafish]

Whats the craic then Sam. Is it still on?

 

[samdive]

just trying to get an idea how many people can make it, not many so far, might try again with a different date - will keep you posted!

 

[samdive]

looks like there is not really enough interest this time so sorry folks. I will almost def be going out for christmas and/or new year so will try again then - and don't say I don't try and get saltfree out of the quarry!!

of course anyone of you can arrange your own trip with lotta direct - www.lottaericson.com

Sorry Sam for being a bite long to reply.
I would have really loved to go, but decided not to in the end.
It is not a question of bad timing, but more a lack of holidays really.
26 days/year is not much, and I should spend quite a lot in Nice this summer already.
Thanks for trying to organise something.
C U in Chepstow

[samdive]

[Almostafish]

Nice try Sam and thanks for your time and effort.
