My wife has a work conference in Cairo coming up during the last week of January, so I've decided to tag along for the trip and do some sight seeing in Egypt.
I'm planning a side trip from the Tues-Thurs to head down to Hurghada for a day or two of diving on the Red Sea. I'm still a beginner diver with only a handful of dives under my belt, and I usually only dive 1-2x a year when I get to warmer climates for vacation.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a dive operation that I should book a day trip with? I'll need to rent gear while there, so it'd be nice to go with a shop that has good quality gear. Are there any specific dive sites that are better suited to less experienced divers, mainly shallower depths with a lot to see? Is it even warm enough for diving in January?
Also, is there any chance that someone else will be there that same week or a local diver that would like to meet up? I'll be making the side trip by myself since my wife will be working, so it'd be great to meet up with a friend while there! :cool2:
Thanks for the help!
