Red Sea Diving Safari?

[jva]

Any of you have experience with Red Sea Diving Safari (redsea-divingsafari.com) and any recommendations on which of their three eco-villages?

Shagra village sounds pretty good, but then, so does Nakari village ("Dolphins are often guests at their house reef. Also whale sharks have be seen here." - I'm not counting on seeing them if I decide to go there.. just.. the slightest possibility.. you know..), but then Shagra has hammerheads and "their house reef is fantastic".. I don't know about Wadi village, but it is a six hour drive, which is exactly what I need when I come of the airplane .. Of course the other two are 'only' four hours..

My parents are paying a diving vacation if I pass my exams, which I will definately (try to) do.. ..

By the way, if I go there, will my 7mm semi-dry not be too much? I don't think it will, but just in case..

I used them when I stayed at the Kahramana at Blondie Beach. The outfit was called Pioneer Divers/Red Sea Diving Safari. They were very good. I don't remember the name of the camp next door but it looked nice. The location was close to Elphinstone, an amazing reef (they require 50 logged dives).

Thanks, that must have been Shagra.
I have decided to go for Nakari, but I think both would have been fine. Nakari is not as close to Elphinstone reef, but you can pay a visit and make two dives there. I'll post how the trip was..
