Thanks for the replies! We did one day of diving with J&M and one day of diving with Promaster Red Sea. Both were cool! Quick comparison: J&M had a smaller group, free Nitrox, better rental gear, more relaxed ambiance. Promaster was way cheaper, including lunch and drinks, a bigger boat so a...

I have contacted J&M, nice vibe from the quick reply! First impressions are really nice, can't wait to travel to Hurghada.

Cool, thank you!

It seems our hotel is next to/near your recommendation! What do you mean by 'nothing like a deeper dive in Egypt'? OW may go to 18m. My friend and I are certified to 40m. Thanks for the tip, will check them out!

Diving friends, As I never have been in Egypt before, we (2 friends and my girlfriend and I) are closing of a 2-week trip with a few days in Hurghada, first week of june. We already have booked the hotel; they seem to offer some opportunities for diving. But I ask for your help to find a good...

Late to the party, but also from me...welcome (again). At the moment the Dutch forum is pretty quiet, but we have some busy times posting...maybe when the water starts warming up some more people become more active!

Cool! well, don't forget to drop a mention when you are traveling here, always a fun city to visit!

Welcome! Have a great time here. I'm not from SF, but am from the Netherlands, given your username you might have a connection with NL as well...Happy Diving!

A little late, but definitely recommend Sealions Dive Center, cool people! Great trip!

Welcome @Ard1966, always good to see a fellow Dutchie. Where are you based in our beautiful country?

Bij de rondgang bij de duikshops, kijk/vraag ook naar eventuele 2ehands droogpakken. Ik had een gelukje, dat er een pak hing, precies mijn maat. De boots waren niet helemaal mijn wens, maar het zeer grote prijsverschil tussen nieuw en tweedehands (welke inclusief onderpak meekreeg) waren meer...

Als je al een tijdje niet duikt, en het droogpak gekocht hebt, kijk of je ook een droogpak specialty erbij kunt onderhandelen/kopen. Het is toch een hele andere manier duiken, en het is best fijn als iemand je daar meer instructie bij geeft.

Hoe gaat het bij iedereen in deze koude tijd van het jaar? Nog leuke nieuwe ontwikkelingen? Hier ligt het duiken wat stiller dan gepland, vanwege griep/ verkoudheid/ holtes die niet meewerken. Wel in november gestart met XR Foundations! Helaas komen de oefeningen er niet echt in op deze manier...

Net voor de vakantie wat verkouden, en na mijn vakantie teruggekomen met een luchtweg infectie...Hopelijk valt er volgende week weer een keer te duiken.

Welcome! There is a good population of Dutch divers here! I'm from Gelderland, mostly diving in the Beldert, planning to dive more locations in the next months. Don't forget to say hi in our Dutch thread, where speaking/typing Dutch is also allowed...

Gaaf, veel plezier!!

Yes! We hebben een intro gekregen over de SSI XR Foundations. Ik duik al droog (al is de afgelopen weken in wetsuit toch ook wel weer leuk en lekker) en met BP/W. De intro was voor mij met name de dubbel 12 en de longhose setup. Enige wat ik niet mee had was eigenlijk de canister light. Was...

Good tip @Wibble. You are right...when you don't need any...you'll see plenty...when up for buying...nothing to be seen! At least, I've got the drysuit and undergarments covered. Backplate could be reused, but thinking I want to keep current BP/W intact for rec with a single steel 12L...

Last sunday we had the intro at my LDS. Extended introduction of all the gear (doubles, longhose, BP/W for the ones not familiar with it, Lights, etc.) and a introduction dive in this gear. The dive was nice. The set up is way more heavy, and of course not fully custom to the diver, since it...

Welcome aboard! A lot of info and friendly folks here! Have fun! Planning to visit Melbourne end of May next year, my GF and I want to dive the Great Barrier Reef. Maybe you could help us with some info (also will open a new topic on this later on, not to highjack your welcome as a new member!)?
