Happy New Year all!
Like many others, I'm sick of the poor vis here and I'm going to get myself off to Egypt in the next few weeks and remind myself what 30m vis looks like!
I haven't dived there for nearly a decade and I guess things have changed. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to hire cylinder + weights and organise shore dives myself? Do I have to dive on organised boat trips?
Also, are there any companies doing boat trips that you would recommend?
Finally, Liveaboards. Is the diving worth the risk of being stuck in a confined space with 15 total strangers (who may not be British!), or should I stay in a hotel and pick and choose the dive trips? Is it busy there at this time of year? Will I be able to twin up/get a pony?
So many questions... any answers gratefully received!
