Hi everyone,
I will be visiting Egypt in early April this year, and I'd love to do a short liveaboard. The only ones I could find that are under a week were King Snefro who do a mini safari for 4 days - this sounds pretty much perfect for what I'm looking for, can anyone tell me anything about them from experience? Is it best to book direct with King Snefro or through an agent? I haven't been diving for over a year so will need to do a refresher dive beforehand - are they easy to arrange once I get to Sharm? I've done my AOW (SSI) but lost my log book when I left my bag in a taxi (doh!). My AOW card states that I have logged over 20 dives - will this be ok since I read on the websites that you need at least 15 dives logged to go on the liveaboards?
Also, I'm bit worried that it will be cold in early April!! I've only been diving in Cairns (July) and Thailand (Dec) before - will it be colder than that? I'm planning to buy a wetsuit before I go, what thickness will I need? I'm not great with the cold, I remember getting chilly when diving in Cairns when I didn't move around enough.
Any tips or advice would be really appreciated, thank you
