... no, not clearing my throat :comedytrumbone:

Has anyone been, especially scuba divers? We've been to Sharm el Sheik (sp?) but wondered whether anyone could make any recommendations for Hurghada. Any dive centers to avoid/recommend?

We are staying at Le Meridian or something which seems perfectly well equipped but is there anything around that'd get recommended?

TIA,
Phil.

Diddyman might know, he organises diving holidays, why not send him a private mail.

Hurghada has lousy diving compared with Sharm chim-knee

If you wanted better diving go on a live-aboard down to S Egypt (Zabargad, Rocky Island etc)

It's still overcrowded though copared with other parts of the world.

PM me if you need soime more info...

Thanks mate. Will do.

I have to say I was pretty disappointed with diving from Sharm. It's been nearly 2 years since I've dived so anywhere will be a bonus!

Went a few years ago - wasn't overly impressed with the place, and the diving was OK - only did one day's diving...For my money, I'd go elsewhere. It was OK for the last minute holiday - but I wouldn't rate it for the yearly hol.

I've stayed just up the road in El Gouna, nice resort but not the best diving from what I hear...

Funnily enough we've booked through lastminute!

Oh well - this is just a week away rather than the yearly holiday. I let you know if it's changed!

Cheers.
