Funny youtube videos.

On a danish diving forum, I found a thread about different type of entries.

A few youtube videos was posted, and found them so funny I made this posting, have fun watching them, I sure did

This first one is s diving doing a head first entry.

The next one is about hanging onto the zodiac.

Next up is a technical rebreather diver with a lot of equipment, it looks like the helping guy is actually doing the opposite.

And finally we have a video not about the entry, but about getting entangled while diving. This guy might be a very experienced tech diver, but I still think he should get a little more clearance between himself and the fishing nets.

The original forum thread can be found here it is in danish.

And the final one, i found myself.
Equipment removal the complete way, I will not suggest people living in cold water to do this

Back from the 3rd Red Sea Liveaboard

Søren Reinke — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:11:42 +0000

From the 10th of November till the 17th of November I had the pleasure of being on my 3rd Liveaboard in 2008

This time we did a Sinai Classic trip. From Sharm el Sheikh, we went to Ras Mohammed, crossed Abu Nuhas, to dive the Ghiannis D and Carnatic, then back again to Thistlegorm, and the trip ended in the Strait of Tiran.

Here you can see the 5 danes doing this trip together, and Hans from Germany (the 3 other germans had left for the airport already).

From the left we have Hans, Allan, Lise, myself, Rune and Arne.
From page 2, you can see the gps tracks I logged on the trip (nearly all the trip is logges). 1 day per page.

The page is google map heavy, so might take a few moments to load. On the next trip i’ll set the log speed to less than 1 log every 5 sec, that is way to much for a boat going at 15 km/h.

Back from the Red Sea

Søren Reinke — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 11:42:05 +0000

Yesterday I came home from yet another trip to the Red Sea.

I had the pleasure og being on a one week liveabord in the St. John’s are of southern Egypt.

After over 600 dives (not all logged) in the Red Sea I finally dived with a Manta Ray, and it did happen twice !

Picture of the Manta, and the rest of the trip will hopefully be put online soon.

Finally I dived with dolphins

Søren Reinke — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:42:19 +0000

While doing the last minute of the safety stop, on the last dive of my June 2008 live-aboard trip, it finally did happen.

I dived with dolphins, I have snorkeled with them 4-5 times, but never did i dive with them.

It was a huge experience, a dolphin mother and her baby did circle around us 3-4 times.

Thanks to Lis and Søren for lending me the pictures.

You can see the photo’s here : Dolphins

The photo’s have not been edited in any way.

Another Malta Trip

Søren Reinke — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:04:00 +0000

From the 16th of April until the 20th of April I had the pleasure of going to Malta again. Last time I was there was in February.

The group I was taking there for Aquasport (the divecenter where I work as instructor) had the pleasure of diving with DiveWise.

Here is a few picture of the staff and the divecenter.

DiveWise is without doubt the most professional divecenter I have meet while travelling, always on time, very friendly, highly qualified instructors/guides and they had a deep knowledge about the divesites.

Dive day #1

On day one we went to Cirkewwa and had to good dive, first on P29 Patrol Boat, and the second on the Tugboat Rozi.

Dive day #2

On day two we went to Wied iz Zurrieq to dive the Um el Faroud two times.

Dive day #3

Because we are flying quite early on the 20th of April, the last to dives have to be quite shallow. Out first 4 dives each was to about 30 meters, so we have to be a bit conservative.

The first dive was on the HMS Maori:

The second dive was on X127 Water Lighter, also known as Coralita.

All in all this was a very nice diving trip, the water was warmer, and the weather was more user friendly than compared to the last trip in February, which still was very nice.

Below here is a bunch of pictures taken on the trip.
