Friends don't let friends wear split fins
I was on the RSA in the middle of March this spring. Definitely cool/cold but hardly a shark to be seen. Looking at the captain's logs they started to return from mid-April on.Thanks for the info. I
Cooler water seems to bring the sharks, especially the hammerheads. At least that's what I learnt in Gulf of Mexico, Cocos, Socorro, and Galapagos.

Taxi Trips and Prices
(That website is run by the same guy that runs the taxi company so far as I can tell - it's how I booked. He also had his hands in the SIM card booths in the airports and could get you a pretty good deal on an Egypt local SIM delivered to you by your driver all in one shot. They've been doing it for a while and had a pretty smooth operation going, I found them through multiple references on Trip Advisor)
(I will caution about the semi-mandatory 'rest' break taken by the driver at the only 'convenience store' along the route between Hurghada and MA. It's up to you if you want to buy anything or how hard you want to negotiate but be prepared for the first offer to be... high... After a 3AM arrival I needed some sugar and just went with it.)
Thanks for the info. I looked at RSA2 itinerary and I have been on some of the sites before (Ras Mohammed, Thistlegorm, Strait of Tiran) so northern route is out of the question.
I was there last August. The sites were pretty much fished out. That's why I'm interested in the southern route and in better time of the year.
