These are divers photos from our time in Dahab, Egypt, where we were from 7th to 15th August, 2002. It was a very enjoyable time.

Poolside camels. Background the Red Sea and the mountains of Saudi Arabia.
Great three-hour breakfast buffet with view. I think we got more than we paid for.
Night shot of Daniel and Micha in pool. Often we had the whole pool for ourselves in the evening and had fun.
David and Lydia poolside. Time together was our best asset.
These bikers went for a sunset ride into the hills on four-wheelers.
Our ferocious row of bikers! Even Rascha and Micha had their turns driving.
As you can see, our girls fit right into the local crowd, mostly Bedouin, in Dahab.
Feasting on questionable milk shakes. The price was better than the quality.
For my birthday, we went for an all-family dive, with Layne and Micha on the surface with snorkels.
Micha learning the ropes as my personal dive assistant.
Suiting up for the dive. Amazing contrast of desert heat with underwater life and colours.
Three variations of needs of haircut: short, long and between.
Man in black. Yes, he cut it all off for the summer, but suffered rejection from his girls.
Three hour breakfast and plenty of time to talk, eat and digest.
David and Daniel took a one-hour wind surfing course. They stayed mostly on top of things.
The three preparing to dive. Common interest, common love.
Safety first, all equipment is checked, again and again.
Micha was very eager to learn and actually did take a few breaths underwater.
These are our two scuba students on their very first "open water" dive.
Rascha (yellow fins) converses with Papa as the rest swim in different directions.

Rascha checking equipment before her first "open water" dive.
Ballerina Lydia learns underwater grace and composure.

Just an overview of the underwater crowd.
This is Micha, however in a pool, reflecting.

Exiting by means of an underwater cave, we come out in shallow water.
Indeed, our creator God is an artist with fantasy!
