Hi
I am thinking about going to egypt for diving. I was there last year and stayed there about 5 months, so I really didn't think I could go back to egypt so soon.. Anyway I think it's going to happen..
Last time I dove at mostly north regions, around hurghada, dahab, sharm el sheikh. I also dove at abu dabab, elphinstone, samadai. I loved diving there, but as I originally planned to go to micronesia and happend to go back to egypt again, I'd like to see somewhere new.
This time, I'd like to go further south. I heard Brothers, Daedalous, Rocky, Zabargad, St John's and Fury Shoals are really nice.
One problem is that I don't have enough time. I may have maximum 10 days in egypt including arrival/departure day.
I know the best way is liveaboards, I searched some liveaboards programs and found out I don't fit with their schedules..
Is the only way to dive at those brothers, daedalous, rocky, zabargad, st john's and fury shoals is only from liveaboards?(For example, go to Hamata or Port bernice on my own.. however i have no idea how to get there now. it seems too far even from marsa alam..)
Well I don't intend to go all 6 sites of course but I want to dive at 2 or 3 places of them. (Think brothers islands are quite far from south, so I'll just skip it)
I am going to egypt from paris this time, so, if there're some good travel agencies, please let me know. Also 5 days liveaboards that cover the regions I mentioned above would be very nice.
Also by the way, how about diving in alexandria?
I'd like to see my friends(if possible) that I got to know during my last trip, and as they're living near alexandria, if it's impossible for me to go to southern region, I am considering going to alexandria, marsa matrouh just for sightseeing. I saw few diveshops in alexandria, but I didn't think the water there is clean or visible when I stayed there. Is it worth diving in alexandria?
Thank you for reading,
I'd appreciate any tips about diving in egypt very much!!
