Thx a lot for your feedback, on a different story, is Hilton Hotel a good choice ?
Hilton's are standard across the world - generally.
But you are off the end of the "Strip" of hub bub and life.
That isnt to say, if you enjoy walking you cant walk to the main area in 15 mins, or get a taxi.
But that end is the majority of Russians and wind surfers.
What about the Sinai Divers diving centers are those a rip off ?
I have heard nothing bad about Sinai Divers. Neither in Sharm or Dahab. so, I couldnt comment. But I am an instructor, so it would be unethical for me to slate a dive centre due to heresay.
Will you be working in Dahab ?
That is the plan. I have an apartment here and the cost of living is conducive with being an instructor here. Its quiet here at the moment, but Im sure it will pick up.
Any idea of the "normal price" for a dive ?
Difficult to say, bearing in mind where you want to go, what gear you need and what level of service you want.
I paid 22 for the one dive I did pay for and it was excellent.
The majority of the dives are shore based. You can do boat diving, but sometimes its more fun to do the camel safari or the jeep safari ... but only sometimes
I will try to do 6 dives in Dahad, Maybe 8~10 in Sharm and will try to do the The Thistlegorm.
Last question, Are they DIN or YOKE ?
thx a lot for the answers
Both.
The gauges (if you use theirs), will be in metric. so brush up on your 14.7 times table if you want to convert into imperial
Its a cool place to chill out.
You will enjoy it loads.
sharm is a different matter, but I will let others extol that set of virtues to you, as I dont like the place for its hustle and bustle.
