Hi all,
I recently passed my OW in Koh Tao (some great diving there these days!), and we had a trip planned to Dahab (obviously that's not happening anymore for clear reasons).
Does anyone know of surrounding areas which are less sensitive to political disrupt, but also caters for beginner divers (I've only done about 7 dives)?
We were thinking:
* Red Sea, Not Egypt
* Great sea life (who doesn't want that? )
* Good for beginners, i.e. visibility, low currents, simple navigation
* Good diving schools, we'd be hard pressed to go on our own so it would have to be 2 of us with a dive master
* Not a live aboard, doubt I could handle the sea for more than a day at a time!
* Other water based activities, snorkeling, swimming, watersports etc
Thank you all in advance for any comments you may post, we were looking into Oman etc., but I'd be grateful to seriously consider any suggestions posted. I'm just hoping that surrounding areas for the red sea wouldn't be trumped by Sharm / Dahab, as we wouldn't wan't a sub-par experience
Thanks!
