It was going to be a well deserved vacation for me: The hectic work enviroment of a Finnish music channel The Voice TV had taken its toll and I didn't really have to make any effort to pass out as soon as the plane left the Helsinki-Vantaa airport.
On our first day we accommodated ourselves into a decent hotel in Hurghada, Zahabia or something like that, didn't really care about the name of the hotel whose pool I rushed into right after unpacking!
After a good night's sleep in the hotel we headed to the boat in which we would be sailing the next six days. Nectarious was a 24-metre cruiseboat that could accomodate all 19 of us plus the crew. We packed only our diving equipment and a few t-shirts along us, for the cabins we were to sleep in weren't any bigger than toilets back home.
After settling in we were soon about to make our first dive!
