Cruise the Nile this Summer Agathie Christie Style then Dive the Red Sea
The Nile River was main economic engine of ancient Egypt for over 5000 years. Most of the ancient temples outside of Cairo are located on are right near the Nile. Ancient cities of Luxor, Aswan, Edfu and the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of the Nile hold some of the most dramatic treasures of ancient Egypt. Riding a Nile cruise ship to see the wonders of Egypt provides the most comfortable convenient way to see the ancient temples south of Cairo. On a Nile cruise ship, you and your belongings cruise the Nile stopping at ancient temples in between sundeck tanning, gourmet meals, cocktails and dancing. There is no finer way to see the treasures of ancient Egypt. Our trip this summer to Egypt starts with a visit the world famous Pyramids on July 4th, then we cruise the Nile River for four days in the middle and the tour ends with a visit to Sharm El Sheik in the Sinai Peninsula to dive the Red Sea. We have customized our tour of Egypt to include all the major highlights of this ancient land and some little know treasures too. Our Egypt tour this summer is a once in a lifetime trip both on land and underwater that is a must stop on your summer travel calendar. Come join us and be part a fantastic group experience!

Trip Journal: Roatan, Honduras January 13-20, 2007
Another year and another great trip to Coco View Resort in Roatan, Honduras. The diehard divers tour resumed again this January at Coco View as a number of divers in the group exceeded 25 dives for the week. This years trip included some changes to our previous trip's weekly schedule. First, the whole group did a full day trip to dive West End Wall and the West Bay area of Roatan. The West End diving was fantastic and quite distinct from Coco View Resort area. We even had some time to walk the streets of Roatan's West End during our lunch stop. After an hour boat ride to the West End, Coco View Resort decided to gives a ride back to the Resort in the company van for an impromptu island tour. The shark dive was again a big highlight of this year's visit to Coco View with 10-15 reef sharks circling the group for great photo opportunities. On Friday, our dive free afternoon was spent at Coco View Resort instead of the usual island tour. Most of the group was able to take advantage of an ariel trip around Roatan by a seaplane based at Coco View Resort. Personally, I past my 700th career dive on the this years Coco View trip and I thank all of my group participants who joined me for early morning sunrise shore dive to celebrate the momentous occasion. Thanks again for another great group Roatan trip. See you back at Coco View in January 2008!
