Scuba Forum / General / July 2005Where to Dive in Red Sea?
I'm thinking of a trip to the Red Sea for some diving. I will be travelling alone, and want somewhere moderately unfilled with tourists. Travelling there needs to be uncomplicated. A nice hotel with adjacent PADI diving shop/boat would be nice. I'm not too bothered about nighlife and such, but some local culture with restaurants e.t.c. would be great. Someone suggested Dahab to me, as an option. Is that a good place to start? I don't require any courses - just to get on with some serious diving. I'm expecting a mid-range budget holiday. Please would people make some suggestions as to what my options are? Have you done anything similar? Can you recommend anything? > I'm thinking of a trip to the Red Sea for some diving.

Can you recommend anything? Hi Steve I can recommend Dahab, not touristy and cheap :-) Excellent dives - all shore based - try www.reef2000.org we found them great. We done two weeks with them. They have budget accommodation on site. Eating out etc. was very cheap.  SignatureKa:-) Learn and Explore www.diveology.ie >I'm thinking of a trip to the Red Sea for some diving.

I know they may be able to visit better sites that have less divers. Would you highly recommend them? Steve:) >>I'm thinking of a trip to the Red Sea for some diving.

Cyclone in December '04. Travelled alone, but found the company fine. Am going on Amelia on 1st Sept. You can do 3 or 4 dives a day, and there is no time wasted getting up early to get to the dive centre, then get to the boat, then travel to the site. Suited me down to the ground. I suppose if you want some resort life and a variety of restaurants and bars, a liveaboard may not be the thing, but for diving, you cant beat it. >>>I'm thinking of a trip to the Red Sea for some diving.

SignatureRichard Faulkner I have just come back this morning from a week on m.y Juliet (oonas divers) I can not recommend them highly enough. good diving ,good food,great company,great crew and a nice clean boat thanks oonas divers > Yes, but I'm not sure I want to be stuck on a boat.

Go there now before it gets ruined. El Gouna is good if the weather conditions are right. I am thinking about going to the tented village south of Marsa Alam soon. I have heard good things about it. That being said I go on a liveaboard once a year in the Red Sea. It cannot be beaten! Eddie > I'm thinking of a trip to the Red Sea for some diving.

Can you recommend anything? Why not Safaga. off-shore dives on a dayly 2-dives basis. We had 14 dives last month at http://www.alpharedsea.com/ The boss is a former Navy seal. Great night dives (Tobya Kebir), Panorama reef (south point and shark point) and spectacular Abu Kifan. Salem Express for those looking for recent wrecks. Try it. Cheap (it's close to Hurghada, cheap airfares) and uncrowded. a+ olivier |
