Has anyone seen the dugong? Everytime we came out of our dive, Dirk would cry out in sheer humour 'Has anyone seen the dugong' and I could not help but laugh when he would shout this out because it would follow with a rip roar of laughter and hearty hand slaps to the thigh! It was comical to watch and funnier to hear him talk about his albino dugong, this being the reason why it was not to be seen on the trip! The Dugong is a sea cow and its huge! I have not seen it but when I first arrived there was a rabid discussions on the sighting of the Dugong and pictures followed. I however can only say I saw the albino dugong boo hoo.
Dirk and Michael often used me as their football in the sea one would grab hold of me and turn me around and the other would sound his horn which sounded dreadful in the sea! Oh what fun both of them had whilst I was perplexed and again once again in giggles. Michael once used his bubbles to float me up a bit further and then dragged me down, I am so glad I have some competence. I guess Michaels favourite part is when I look behind me and he is signalling Shark, I look ahead wondering where is it and feel someone grabbing my leg and trying to bite me..I look down and its Michael pretending to be the shark! HO HO HO HO! I was to say the least thinking how on earth can I get him back! The man is a colossus so I was outdone on that part of life! On land, it got funnier for them, they would be speaking to each other and then I would find a bottle of iced water being tipped down my suit, howls and screams later, they would return only for the Egyptian staff to come and protect me! How they laughed at the antics of the day often indulging themselves into a song, laughter and banter at my expense but in a caring way!
Its been lots of fun!
