So here I go again for another trip to Egypt and Dahab

So here I go again for another trip down to Egypt and Dahab, the trip went well despite the stay at Frankfurt airport. At the beginning of the trip I took with me an easy out cooling, which in turn gave me problems with sinuses .. no diving for a week. But with boiling water and Oleum Basileum in it..  would prove to be a very successfully treatment.

In the meantime when I had the cold I took the opportunity to rest and perform other activities, like the 250cc off-road bike and visit different places, but also as a transport. It is impossible to be here without a car or a bike if you do not want to feel locked.

With regard to my training.. I've now got off with my training and harvested FRC dive down to 30-34m. My focus was to find peace, to prepare my body for the pressure and to be able to equalize effectively.
Last week's workout was in the Blue Hole (first session in blue hole) and forgot my mono fin, I then focus on the CNF.. a dive that resulted into -40m, an easy dive that gave me good confidence for the remaining period.

I have now been training both CWT/CNF dive and it will be interesting to see how deep I get in these disciplines this year, have strong faith that I will go deeper than my -70m in CWT and -50m in CNF. And it turned out after a short training time.. a dive down to -72m CWT (without packing) and -50m CNF..  2 easy dives to start training with.

Yesterday I rested from training and then I decided to take a day trip to Nuweiba, a run of about 70km trip. The ride was horrible because of the huge heat from the wind.. the desert and the mountains is not easy to ride in, so hot that I burn myself while driving. But it was nice to perform the journey there and get away from it all, the trip home was awesome .. sunset and the lower temperature made it nice.

It is a new week and another week of training, new opportunities .. Today I started with CNF down to -55m (approx. time 2:10) and on Tuesday I was supposed to try -75m in CWT (without packing).  But after the dive today I went to bed and did not manage to get oxygen tank in time, so for tomorrow I will try to do the same target as today.
