I traveled to Southington, Connecticut on Saturday to conduct a dive shop presentation for International SCUBA, a store right next to my hometown of Cheshire, CT.  The dive shop owners Joe and Cheryl Cherubini designed a great trip with Learning Through Travel that included a full land tour of ancient Egypt, a Nile Cruise, 3 Night Mini-Liveaboard, days of diving in Dahab plus a full day tour of Petra, Jordan, tour of Abu Simbel and even the Karnak Temple Sound and Light Show.  The goal of the presentation was to launch the Egypt trip for the dive shop and launch is indeed what happened as I was greeted by 25 eager potential trip paricipants. Some of the presentation attendees came well prepared with research on Egypt and the Red Sea completed and checks in hand for their trip deposit. The custom powerpoint presentation lasted over an hour and was well received with numerous oohs and ahhas of my pictures and lots of questions. After the presentation, Joe and Cheryl commented that everyone loved the show and they believed they already sold out the 16 spots on the liveaboard safari boat. The Cherubini’s also expected a fair number of non-divers to join the trip who would spend time resorting in Sharm while the divers were on the dive boat.
