About me...
My name is Monique. I live in an appartment with my fish , my bird Toby and my rabbits Knabbel and Babbel. In my leisure time I like spending time with my friends, cook, read, do some crafts or work on my computer (if it is not too difficult!!!).
Diving has been a dream for me for some time, but until the summer of 2001 I did not go. I was afraid my ears would start hurting, because I could not clear them under water. But I took the risk and booked a diving holiday to the Red Sea in Egypt. My ears did not bother me and it was great. It was so great that I went back in December for a week. I went to the same place and took the advanced PADI course and a Underwater Photography Specialty. Some of the pictures I took during this course are shown on the Egypt December 2001 page.
In May of 2002 I went to Spain, but the weather was very bad (heavy storms) so I was not able to dive a lot. In stead I went to Barcelona to visit the Zoo and the Aquarium. In August I went to the Maltese Islands. Again to do a lot of diving, but also to enjoy the scenery and to learn more about its history.
In June of this year I went to France and dived there as well. In November I went to Egypt and some of the pictures are already on the site, but more will be coming... We went to the deep South of the Red Sea and we encountered SHARKS!!!
Keep in touch and visit me regularly.....
Cheers Monique.
