Welcome Aboard Great White Photos
STOP PRESS
HERE WE GO AGAIN
Off to the Maldives from January 5th to 22nd January 2010. 2 weeks with Peter Hughes - Ocean Dancer and one week on Rheethi Beach with Dave and Nicky Hester. Can't wait to go now. Rumours that Larry, Geoff and Chris are coming over for a bit of a drink!
More pictures from the 6th January.
Thanks to all at Cameras Undewater for sorting me out at short notice (again!).
WELL IT'S ALL OVER FOLKS!
A great finish in the Galapagos on the Agressor and the Sky Dancer. Thanks to all the crew for two great weeks. Also special thanks to Jeff for ensuring that everyone aboard the Sky Dancer was sufficiently catered for with liberal doses of Rum and Coke (it's not easy to hide on a boat as some of the guests discovered!).
Spare a thought for the poor Peruvian locals and bar owners daughters who will (as you read this blog) be being terrorised by Jeff and Chris on their motorcycles. Good luck guys, I hope both of your medical insurance payments are up to date!
Thanks and best wishes to all of the folks we have met and shared good times with over the last few months. Some colourful characters and some great stories (as always when you are at sea). We will endeavour to keep in touch and who knows, hopefully we will meet up with some of you again.
Just for completeness, the breakfast situation in Ecuador is fair to middling. Seek out the curried potato and chicken rissoles, give a wide berth to the traditional sausage (offal) soup. Pancakes and waffles are not forced upon you so it probably gets a 6/10.
We have learnt much on this trip (apart from how to speak Sapnish). Esther has learnt how to secure a lucrative job contract whilst lying in bed in a hotel room in Ecuador, whilst eating Pizza and watching Notting Hill on TV. I have learnt how to cut my hair with a pen knife. Ain't life grand.
More Photos to come when we get back home. Then, time to plan the next dive trip!
Best wishes,
Alan and Esther
This is Alan White & Esther Brennan's web site. We use it to keep a record of our dive trips.
Apart from the recent trip, the pictures in the Gallery are from trips we have taken in the Maldives (based on Reethi Beach) and the Bahamas (based in Nassau & liveaboards on M/V Shear Water, Caribbean Explorer and Aquacat). I do most of my diving with Esther my girlfriend and long time buddy. The Boy sometimes comes along too!
We will be using the NEWS section to keep a regular journal of our progress. The GALLERY sections will hold the picture and some narrative for each snap. You can contact us whilst we are away by using the CONTACT US section, or please email me here at GREAT WHITE PHOTOS if you’re interested in any of my images (high resolution versions).
Thanks to all the kind folks at Nautilus Explorer, Sea Explorer Reethi Beach, the Aquacat and Caribbean Explorer teams and Jim Abernethy and his crew for all the great dives. If you have read the bad press about Jim, please ignore it. The Shear Water trips are amazing and professionally run. Truly an experience of a lifetime. Keep it up Jim!
Glad you dropped in. Feel free to have a swim around at your leisure.
Alan White.
