So we are looking at October 1-7 time frame. We've checked tickets as far as Cairo, but from there whats the best way to diving locations, and for first timers to the Red Sea, what would you recommend.
find a ticket to Hurghada or Sharm el Cheik or Marsa Alam, only stop 1 or 2 days in Cairo if you want to see pyramids or visit the city's highlights
I should not advise you to go to the Sinaï zone (except Sharm, no problem)
if it's your 1st time, consider booking already now (october is the high season for liveaboard) a week (hotel + daily dives) or a liveabord, following your preference ; someone of the divecenter will wait for you at the airport and their full service will only end at the airport again, no stress
there are nice dives everywhere; of course, Hurghada and Sharm, overcrowded until 4 years ago, have some quite damaged sites, but there are still marvelous places to see
the sea will be much better in october (27°c)
I was there 2 weeks ago and next time will be september , already booked...
