Comments	[None]Although the dives are described as from ZODIACS, I have only done that in training and maybe a few other times as back rolloffs small boats. So this was CHALLENGING for my 60 hr old self and I forgot key points like keep that chin tucked IN as you roll back rather than bang head on tank valve!!! OUCH.... FIrst day Zodiacs the first Z with YOUNG and STRONG folks got CAPSIZED by a wave and all FLEW out. They were not alarmed! All were geared up, ready to dive and SAFE, so they just DESCENDED. Yikes, that is a bit too much drama BEFORE breakfast... The accommodations were BASIC, shower runs out drain on floor. NO chocolates on pillows. But VERY hard working crew who did EVERYTHING for safe and enjoyable diving and non-dive time. NO electric devices in cabins so my CPAP had to be Captain-approved. ROUGH 8 hr crowwing Capt. warned us to secure items. Was 8 HOURS of engine straining, boat pitching, some rolled from bed. Porthole in bath usually 15 ft. below waterline was UNDERWATER!! Scared to get up as might not be found till morning... !! But no serious injuries or illness. Yeah! Meals for 36 divers/crew came from a CLOSET but super fresh and delicious. FRESH not dried dates and one day the option of CAMEL steak, NOT gamey. DELICIOUS and tender like a ribeye! Yum. Fresh pastries and baklavas daily. Don't miss this TRIP!!
