Hello all! Just got introduced to this site by a new buddy I made on a recent trip to Cozumel. Had a total blast in Mexico and now I'm ready for a real brainbending adventure...gonna to to Egypt in 2006!
I've seen great info posted on the various threads already, and I've made up my mind to book a week-long liveaboard out of Hurghada. Not sure which one yet. As a single young female, would much prefer a crew with decent manners - suggestions are welcome.
What I REALLY need now is logistical information, because I plan to fly in to Cairo, head immediately south for a week of diving, and then...
...rent a car with some (thus far unidentified) friends and crawl back up the West Bank, sightseeing at our own pace for a couple weeks before returning to Cairo.
Am I nuts? Is it safe? Are car rentals reliable? Are tourists too vulnerable when traveling independently in a group? What can we do with all our dive kit as we tour? Will it be damaged or stolen? Should we ship it all to Cairo or keep it with us?
I'm a smart kid and I travel a lot...just rarely outside the US. Want to see and do as much as I can without being hogtied to a tour group...and most importantly want to stay safe.
Thanks all - looking forward to learning and diving! J
