Which airline has the deal for that complete dive gear?
I'm organising a trip myself later in the year and that info might be handy

Though as usual the advise given via the phone and email is different to that printed on their web page. Will keep you posted.

I flew with Astreaus in November and being over 6ft was very impressed with the extra legroom as standard.

They introduced the £20 all in for some routes only, e.g. Taba, where I was going, whereas Sharm and Hurghada had an extra 5kg allowance as standard.

I asked to prepay so as to be sure of getting the allowance but they could not do that. When I turned up to check in the desk staff were perfectly au fait with the allowance and the £20 per bag extra.....a c*ck up on their behalf meant not all my bags got weighed so I didn't have to pay a thing.....but that's another story

Hi Mal,

thanks for that. Confirmation over the phone and via email both confirmed that the £20 extra for ALL dive gear is now available to SES and Hurghada. So here is hoping
