A couple of months ago, I got a job working as a stunt diver in Dubai. I got it through my agent in London, and it was all very last minute and rushed, so I didn't really have time to find out what I was doing apart from the bare essentials.
Well I got to Dubai (interesting place), and spent a brilliant four days with some great people shooting a new advert for the Burj Al Arab hotel.
I was lucky enough to stay there for four days, as part of the shoot took place in the hotel and on the helipad, and had a great time being thoroughly well looked after. The people are fantastic, and the rooms were ridiculous (might upload some photos later on).
Finally, after a few months of editting, the advert is finally done. I found it on YouTube, uploaded by someone from the Jumeirah group (who own the hotel), and now the chief of editting has given me access to a copy. Thought you guys might be interested in seeing it. I believe it's to be shown throughout the world, released on TV later this month.

Ah cool Turtle, I thought that would be you but wasn't sure. Were you the guy who was very good at something with gymnastics?
