Hi, most of these pictures are taken in Oman. About a 90 minute drive from Dubai. Lots of good wrecks in Dubai but not much else and hardly amuses life as the water has such a very high salt level. Also because of construction over the years, there are no coral reefs and viz is very poor. It’s great to come back to Dubai for a cold beer after a day in Oman :)

80%! Well that was a bit rubbish! Good job I’m not a rescue diver isn’t it really!

Oooops... Do I get bonus points as I’ve never dived in that region, nor have studied the Atlantic variations...? :D

Sure, I’ll give you a free quiz retake after you study some more :)

A good one to refresh! Thanks for creating it!

No problem, glad you enjoyed it.

You mean question 3’s answer was NOT a Mankini? Well thats just disappointing!

Yeah, I thought the same thing.

I was so sure it was!

OK I broke down and took this test. I didn’t realize I actually knew that much about Jacquies Cousteau. I scored 90%. I guess I didn’t know he was a spy for France..

I dont know anything about him and was surprised I got 50%... I’m still hung up on the fact that he didn’t invent the Mankini!

That sounds like a good plan! When are you planning to travel and where will you be staying? Dubai diving isn’t so great, but an hour away we can cross the Oman boarder to a small fishing village and there is a dive centre there that will take us up to the Musandam, better reefs, wall, crazy drifts and you just never know what you’ll see up there! Viz is always patchy, but when it’s green we get whale sharks and mola mola so its all good! Let me know your plans as they unfold and we will have to show you the diving out here, and maybe a hockey game too!

I do not know the dates since it will be a work thing. I will keep you posted. I will have to look into the options for leaving Dubai as it will be company funded. Long story short, i just got excited at the possibility of seeing whale sharks!!!! Thank you and i will let you know!
