Scuba Forum / UK Scuba / December 2005Sharm El Sheikh
Hi Guys. Very new to Scuba. Going to Sharm El Sheikh at Christmas (you may have seen my early posts) will finish off the Padi course there. I may want to pick up some bit and pieces of kit and am also thinking for getting Digi camera, is it worth buying / any cheaper in Sharm El Sheikh?  SignatureBest Regards Baz Theres a dive shop on the top floor of the shopping mall [adj to camel bar] if it was not blown up. Excellent, cheap and he even fixed the LPI on my mates wing at 11 o'clock at night as we were diving the arch at Dahab the following day and he never even charged us!!!!! went back 2 days later and bought loads of Diverite stuff...Top bloke, saved the day! > Theres a dive shop on the top floor of the shopping mall [adj to camel > bar] if it was not blown up.

Never bought anything dive-wise at Sharm, but yes this shop is well known and has been up for ages. There is another shop along the sea front. Can't give you exact directions, but try this. You are in the main shopping "street" lined by smoke-and-coffee shops. As you walk down the hill with the sea behind the buildings to your right, you come to MacDonalds on your left. Opposite MacDonalds there is an alleyway taking you to the seafront itself. Just as you hit the promenade by the restaurants, there's a dive gear shop on the corner on your left. As I said, never having bought anything can't recommend or otherwise, this is to let you know there's more than one place to browse. Ken The one you are describing directions to sounds like the one next door to Red Sea College. I went in there and the one on the second floor of the shopping mall and found them no cheaper for most stuff than normal UK prices.

Hm... the one I went to, which was blown up later, was in downtown Sharm, at the left side, across the street from the local cafes and little shops. Not anywhere near Guy Haywoods R.S. College.

That was my impression too - except that in the UK I can haggle! There being more retail outlets I can pit more of them against each other. Last year - about this time - I was looking to buy a Vyper. As it happened, because of planned trips by various family members, I was in a position to purchase this in any one of 5 countries - including Egypt and USA. The cheapest was (roll of drums) the UK.

Unfortunately it was, two days after I bought Sporasub fins there.

I thought that Lufthansa would be a bit pi$$ed of about that............... > On the subject of this, I saw a sign in Heathrow the other day telling me > that any goods imported from the EU that were not for my personal use would > be confiscated along with the vehicle that brought them to the UK. > > I thought that Lufthansa would be a bit pi$$ed of about that............... that's cheered my morning up already :)) SignatureDoobie Doobie Do, da da di da da > Hi Guys. > Very new to Scuba. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Best Regards > Baz you will have a great time. being new to diving adding an underwater camera to you kit mey give just one to many things to think about. Just after my GF open water course I had to take a camera off her, each time she tried to look through it she floated to the surface. If we had been deeper than 3 meters it might not have been not such a laugh. not knowing what kit you have. A diving computer would be top of my list for a new diver. You have a mask fins and wet suit right ! just take a pot full of fun and the rest will sort it self out. David |
