Open Water referal
My son, aged 10, is doing his open water at the moment. We are planning on going somewhere nice and warm in April for him to do his OW dives on a referal, having already done his theory and pool dives.

Can anybody recomend somewhere family friendly where the water temperature will be suitable for 3mm wetsuits? And I will be able to talk to the dive centre before we go out there.

John

Once you decide on the dive centre you want you can always ring them. Have a look on the PADI.com website find the centre you want and the phone number and e-mail address will be there.

OW referal
I can highly recommend Murray Hannon at Sharm El Naga. He's English and his dive centre is right on the beach. My 12 year old struggled with diving off boats with Aquarius in Hurghada so I moved down the coast where Georgia was really happy. So happy she's now a Junior OW!

He's a very patient instructor. The beach is sheltered and slopes gently and you can pick a depth from 1m to 75m and there are fine sandy plateaus for training. Then there are the reefs stretching North and South to explore once they're happy in the water.

Sharm el Naga Resort & Diving Center

PM me and I'll forward his direct e-mail.

For a 3mm wet suit and a kid I would think you need to be looking at the indian ocian in April. I doubt if the water in Egept would be much over 25c then and thats a bit cold for little people.

Id seriously consider a thicker 5mm semi dry suit.

Shore diving is best as its less scary. Dahab is great for this and Jo Davin of Jo Divers used to do trips there all the time and hes great with kids. If hes still about give him a go.

Red Sea Dive Safari - Marsa Shagra, shore based diving but with the option of introducing rib diving, see Oonasdivers web site for details. Hope this is of use.

Dahab? It's all shore diving and those who aren't diving get to sit in a restaurant while their loved one is in the water, so imagine it would be the kind of thing you're looking for.
