Hi all,
Spouse and I just decided to travel to Cyprus this summer (late June-early August, exact dates TBD) to visit friends and realized that we're an inexpensive flight from Hurghada or Sharm and Red Sea Liveaboards. I did a little initial searching and there are a LOT of options and it's a little confusing. I guess the biggest question is which itinerary is best for us at this time of year.
Stuff that matters:
*We like sharks and big stuff
*We also like pretty corals and schools of fish
*Wrecks are cool because they tend to have corals and fish, but aren't in themselves that interesting. Except maybe Thistlegorm
****We have 170-some dives each, but it's vacation, so we don't like to be stressed out going too deep (we like to keep dives to 70 feet or so) or fighting crazy currents (but we're reasonably fit runners and can handle some current/cardio demands)
We'd also like a liveaboard where English is commonly spoken by crew and guests. Never been to this part of the world, so not sure what the language situation is. We've been on several liveaboards where there have been guests that didn't speak the dominant language, and they didn't seem to have as much fun. We want to avoid that. We like chatting with other guests and crew.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!!
