    Question Diving in LIBYA

    I would like to know if anyone went diving in LIBYA. If anyone has been there please let me know of the dive sites and dive operators (if there are any) I will be traveling to LIBYA/tripoli for business and I would like to go diving while I am down there.

    I doubt

    The only diivng in Libya I heard about is proffesional diving (I know one diver that has been there) i.e. pipes, drilling etc.

    When I was there (nine years ago) nothing like that did exist.

    Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

    Be careful when you go get gas for your tanks - you might get 93-octane instead of compressed air by mistake. The good news is that it's only $.08 per gallon.

    Hi Faaz,
    Do you have any links to dive company web sites in Libya? I'll be there next week for a couple of weeks tour, but if I can dive after that it would be great. Have also heard about the possibility of diving around submerged Roman ruins - any info about doing this? and finally, whats the water temp like in March?
    all the best,
    David

    Hello Faaz:

    I hope this message finds you. I am Canadian and I am going to Tripoli for a temporary duty assignment there for 6 weeks beginning November 2007 until late December. I am an advanced O/W diver and I would like to know if there are any sites or contacts I may get in touch with for diving near Tripoli..........

    Can you help please.

    Thank you.

    Cheers, Nick.
