Hi all - am finishing up my AOW in two weeks, and have been looking at where to go next. (My husband will probably get OW certified next, so that we can plan trips together.)
Egypt has been on my list to visit for quite some time now (my mother actually used to live in the Middle East, in Khartoum.)
I just found out that the Red Sea has excellent diving...which looks to me like a great opportunity to put two things I want to do into one trip. However, a few lines in my Lonely Planet guide mention strong currents? So the question is - how is the Red Sea for beginners? Honestly, I only have 6 dives under my belt now.. So should I wait a year or so? At this point, I don't want to bite off more than I can chew...
Thx!
