Ras Mumlah Diving Camp (21.- 22.03.2006)
Hi Sarah, Noelle, Daniel, Sulman,
thanks again for organizing such great holidays in Nuweiba for us. With this e-mail we send you a few lines (and a few pictures) about our Ras Mumlah Diving Camp in March, cause we think it might also be interesting for others who plan to visit Ras Mumlah. Feel free to publish this travel-report on your homepage if you like.
When we left to Ras Mumlah we still didn’t really believe, that we were going to a place where there are no other tourists at all. So it was a little bit a surprise, that Sulman and his 4x4 jeep brought us to a very remote place between desert and sea, and that we carried the whole “infrastructure”, which was available there, with us in two jeeps.
The first thing we needed after the trip to Ras Mumlah was beduin breakfast and beduin tea. After a while we got the impression, that this type of food was specifically invented for divers. So we were ready for the first dive.
When you arrive at Ras Mumlah you can already sense, that underwater a great and almost untouched landscape is waiting to be explored. All seven dives at Ras Mumlah were really beautiful. We started with the first two dives at Ras Mumlah North, which is a wall dive. After lunch the third dive (as well as the night dive this evening) led us to the shallow reef-top of Ras Mumlah South. Sulman warned us not to take a look, what is waiting further down, because the reef down there is so spectacular, that we would immediately start to descend. So we were patient and waited until the next morning …
In the evening we drove a little bit further up the mountains. Even though it was March, a warm wind from the south and the sun had already heated up the stones. We were sitting outside, enjoyed the beautiful sky full of stars, and had beduin dinner. It was absolutely quite outside. This night we slept on a carpet until sunrise, which was quite early, but perfect for an early morning dive at Ras Mumlah South.
The highlights this morning were two wall dives at Ras Mumlah South – of course between an early and a late beduin breakfast. After our seventh Ras Mumlah dive and a last lunch at the beach we drove back to Nuweiba through the mountains and the desert. This was the last adventure for this day and we arrived in Nuweiba happy but tired.
