We had to take the taxi to be sure we were back in Aqaba, as we booked a diving course. It is a long standing dream to dive and it was not impossible we could complete the course in four days, if we would study all out free time.
Diving is a very technical sport, your life depends on your equipment, knowledge and skills.
You have to learn about that environment, and the dangers associated with that. Strange and deadly diseases like the decompression sickness, the deadly tearing of your lungs if you hold your breath while ascending. And nitrogen narcoses. All rather scary, but if you know what you do, the risk is only minor.
The corals are incredibly beautiful: the whole spectrum of colours, and an infinity variation in shape. There are many fish. On any moment you can see thousand of fish, in hundred different species. The colours are sometimes fluorescent, amazing.
