So I'm moving to Libya...

[Hammerhead]

...and I want to dive while I'm there.

Moving over late this month and likely to be there for 2-3 years. Geographically, it would seem perfect for some world-class diving, but I imagine the infrastructure is still prettybackward when it comes to recreational diving.

I have already packed all the gear (bar lead and tank) in hope that I'll be able to get wet while I'm there.

Anyone on here got any experience or advice they can share?

Libya doesn't have any border on the Red Sea. I don't know much about diving in Libya, but I don't think it offers world-class diving.

Wrong !!!

there are nice dives in the med... see attached nice report from a person who run a local dive shop over ther : The Deco Stop
I think he also got user here with the same nick "Arebi" or similar - send him a PM and good luck there - send us dive reports

Nice dives don't mean world-class diving!

You are 100% right. This is what happens when rum and coke meet scubaboard.

Will go ask a mod to move it to the Africa forum I originally intended to post in...

'doh.

Hmmmm..... moving to Libya? I hope you like sand......

Not sure how easy it is to get to but I believe there's reasonable diving in Malta. If memory serves me well there are Great White's in the area.
