Just booked a week at the begining of November at the Hilton Sharks Bay.
From what I can gather the Hilton has its own dive school.
Anyone know what its like? I am a newly qualified PADI OW diver, so not
looking for anything too technical.

Anyone got any thoughts on what Sharm will be like in November. Looking to
book for a week at the Hilton Sharks Bay and the earliest we can get is
November now.
What will Sharm be like then? Water temp, visibility? Crowded? Air temp?

I'm off to Egypt (hooray) and am likely to do a few night dives. Is it
really necessary to have more than one torch with you or do people
generally dive with just the one?
I'm taking two with me but would like to know what others think as Ive

I have a week available (2nd week in September) to go diving and thought
it's about time I hit the Red Sea. I'm fairly new to it, only dive
abroad. PADI AOW and nitrox.
A friend of mine is going to come along, but he's into kite surfing not

Hi all,

Hello does any have a recommendation for diving in Majorcia.  I do not
really want to go deep with wrecks and I am quite happy at 15 metres looking
at the wildlife.  I am located in the centre of the island is Sineu on the
holiday, so I can access the enture island.

I'm taking my new digital camera and underwater case to Sharm next week,
with the 2 memory card I've only got a maximum of about 220 photos.
As I dont really want to take my laptop on holiday with me does anyone know

measurements?  For instance, what sort of person fits a size 4, or a 6?

Following an earlier thread, I have just taken my tank to be tested (to a
test station - not a dive shop than sends them on to someone else)
Last test was a hydro which was valid until feb 04 so the cylinder is out of
test (by old standards). I was told that I therefore needed a ...

Assuming good care of a cylinder (i.e never empty etc) how long would you
expect it to last before it fails a test?
After how many years would it be worth considering replacement rather than
retest (or just retest till failure?)

Are there any sort of "set" dates for any of the regular trips?  I want to
