Hi,
I've put together a tech liveaboard trip for a group of mates for 15-28 February 2011, and we have three spaces left. The majority of the group is US-based and we'll be flying in through Cairo, doing a liveaboard out of Hurghada on the wrecks of the northern Red Sea and then doing a couple of days in Luxor visiting the Valley of the Kings.
After all, why go to Egypt and not see the Pyramids?
More details at:

The boat is Emperor's Elite, a new boat. The itinerary is the usual highlights:
The boat is rebreather-friendly with Sorb, O2 and trimix. Doubles and stage bottles are available and included in the price, as is Nitrox32. This is a tech trip, with longer bottom times available and you should be certified for your unit at ideally Normoxic Trimix level (200ft) and definitely deco procedures, with Advanced Trimix if you want to do the deepest wreck.
Full itinerary on the website and I can provide you details of the 6 wrecks we expect to dive.
Cost is $2600 for two nights at Hilton in Cairo, 6 days world-class wreck diving including doubles or rebreather and bailout tank rental, 2 nights Luxor Hilton resort and land transfers. Partners/spouses on recreational gear can come for $2400 and do half of the wrecks, to recreational depths, with a colourful reef dives to make up the difference. Flights from the US are running at about $900 from the Eastern seaboard at the moment.
Europeans welcome too, obviously. Obviously quicker to get to so you might not want to do the land-based sightseeing. You can either join us in Cairo to see the pyramids or arrange a charter flight to Hurghada. The price listed is for the full trip, we can sort out a Sterling or EUR price based on boat-only or part of the trip.
Questions? Shoot me a PM or email or take a look at the FAQ:

Technical training will be available through Dan Crowell (see Deep Explorers Technical Diving ), but spots are limited.
