hi
I (US man 47yo) have been lucky to have dove in only 5 places in the world, Great barrier, Thialand, Costa Rica, Caymens and Belize, total maybe 75 dives, all OW cert, so I am bit spoiled. Im now married to a Russian woman and they have charters flights to Sharm for 10 days in late April (also other times in the year), staying a various hotels, all inclusive or just breakfast. My wife would be flying from Rostov Russia and I would use my 75k United FF miles from Wash DC to Frankfort to Cario, then have to pay for a cheap flight to Sharm to meet up with her. She could take the flight only and not do the inclusive hotel deal but they would charge her $200+ more if we don't get the hotel deal.
In my travels the liveaboards I have been on were much better diving than day trips. Does sharm have 1 night liveaboards??
I am most interested in seeing hammerhead sharks etc and fish I never seen before. I perfer warm clear water, so I am not tied to this month, I could always go another month another year if late summer is better diving?? What dive site can u see these sharks? Can this be done during a day trip?
Has any american done these all inclusives? Are they worth it, or does the food get boring? I could always just book the Sharm Waterfalls hotel Hilton for $100 per night and we buy all are own food at restuarants, anyone stya here before??
Anyone recommed a bus trip from say Cario to Sharm and see the pirameds along the way, or can this only be done from a regular tour??
I would like to do a minimum 10 dives over say 3 days. My wife has neve dove, but would likely snorkel. I know the russians have bad reps as far as egypt, so my preferance is to avoid the groups as much as possible, tho my wife is very social and some exposure may be good as its would be inevitable.
thanks for your time
Pete
