Adventure, diving & fun trip with 16 Danes in Burma 13.2.2010-17.2.2010


12 adults, 4 girls, 3 guides, and 4 crew members went on their way up to Burma. 7 out of 12 were already certified divers, 3 did their open water course and the rest was snorkelling, kayaking, swimming, jumping from the boat, exploring the most beautiful beaches and did discover scuba dives.

Up or down? Left or right? Go or stay? Sunset or night dive? Eating or drinking? There was a lot to discuss, a lot to decide and many plans which got changed second by second. No doubt, it was a VERY funny group and we had a great time all together.

Due to different dive levels, we organised the dives as individual as possible and I guess we can say, at the end of each day, everbody had a smile on his/her face ;-)

Some numbers for the logbook:

- all together we were 860 years old

- the deepest dive was on 37 meters

- the shortest dive was 23 minutes

- in total we were travelling around 180 miles

- the longest dive was around 70 minutes

Some names for the logbook:

green turtle, ghost pipefish, sea snake, different rays, scorpionfish, different moray eels, barracudas, snappers, cuttle fish, bullshit shark, white tip shark, nemo, all kind of shrimps, guitar shark, black ribbon eel, harlequin shrimps, cleaner pipefish....

Congratulations to:

- Kristien for his second CMAS star!

- Soren, Kirsten and Dion for their open water certification!

- Annemette for her try dive!

Thanks to all of you for 5 unforgettable days! See you soon!
