Hey all, I am flying in to Sharm El Sheikh in June, I am only going to be
around for 4 days but have been told that Dahab is a nicer place but not
necessarily nicer diving. Anyone here been to either or both? Suggestions?
Dive companies to go with?

Thanks

There is plenty of diving in Sharm without having to go to Dahab.
Definately enough to fill 4 days (if not 4 weeks) of diving. Look up
Colona Divers, they've been very helpful when we were there in January
(www.colona.com).

If you venture to Ras Mohammed, Ras Ghazlani, Jackfish Alley were
very nice. For a bit of an adventure, sign up for the trip to
Thistlegorm (well worth the few extra euros).

Be ready for some HOT weather in Sharm in June.

Dahab is much much quieter than Sharm, there are some good dives there but
it is all shore diving, i enjoyed a week there some 12 months back, diving
with Sinai divers at the Hilton Hotel.

very enjoyable..

Dahab is quiet but a lot of fun. The diving is nearly all shore stuff so if
you want boats then stay in Sharm. I'd say that Dahab is the nicer place but
I'm not sure if there is much in the way of gas mixing so you'll be on air
if you stay there.

Diver Down Under at the Seven Heaven Hotel on the waterfront is one of the
best outfits in Dahab- very professional and friendly. I'm taking my dive
club out there again this year.
