I've read that you must obtain a full tourist visa to dive in Ras Mohammed National Park and that you cannot get this upon arrival if flying into Sharm El Sheikh, only a mini visa which limits where you can dive. Does anyone know if Egypt has changed their process on this or do I need to go to the full tourist visa before I leave for my dive trip?

You can get a full touristic visa in Sharm El Sheikh airport. Where are you coming from?

Thanks, I'm a US citizen but would be flying from Stuttgart, Germany.

Can confirm this. Visa is available at Sharm airport for $15.

It's the same throughout Egypt. Get your visa from the bank teller (Banque Misr, Bank of Egypt) in the arrivals hall. Anyone asking more than US$ 15 is trying to rip you off.
