Journal Entry:

Rees took off for Cairo this morning. To avoid having to pack I opted to spend the exta $.75 to have the room to myself. Decided that my sinuses were good enough to start looking at diving. All the dive centers wanted me to take a refresher dive before letting me on a real dive (since it had been more than six mos. since my last dive - and I didn't have a log book). So after looking around I realized that to do the three dives I wanted plus the refresher dive it would only cost me $30 more to take the PADI Advanced course and I'd end up with five real dives and the certification upgrade. So I signed up for the class starting tomorrow (with the Fantasea dive center) and I was given a book to study and a worksheet to complete - Homework! Rest of the day was spent on the beach reading the course book. Went to happy hour with an even bigger than usual group (Americans, Australians, New Zelanders, and a token Brit). Dinner was back at the Shark Club.
