me and my girlfriend are going to sharm el sheik on 20th september 2012, and are looking to do a 1 day dive.
we have no previous experience in diving at all, but was wondering if it was possible for us to dive without any certification, obviously under instruction ????????
Hi Daniel,
All dive centres will over a Discover Scuba Diving course which will let you test it out and see if you like it.
Try speaking with Red Sea Diving College, Camel Dive Club, Elite Diving or Sinai Divers.
a god place to have day trips ” ras mohammed”
I have dived here a number of times and completed 2 courses in Sharm, both with Emperor, fantastic company, friendly, safe A1
We just returned from a 2 weeks stay at Baron Resort with daily snorkeling. Twice wie saw a school of sharks just a GEW Meters from the reef.

Was wow we dived the thistlegorm as well as shark and Hollands reef ras Mohammed. Omg. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks to Mohammed and sherif and all the guys at pharaoh. They were amazing. I really will miss them
Hi all,
I’ve been lucky enough to dive in several places across the globe, the Red Sea several times. In general my experience in the Sharm area has been great, good vis, minimal currents and vast beautiful reefs (particularly the straights of Tiran). There is the world famous Thistlegorm wreck, which can be a little crowded but well worth the trip. The dive outfit I use by choice now is Elite-Diving, an amazing family run dive Center that still has that personal touch, the majority of dive staff are British, so no language issues for me.
Worth a visit to Dahab to dive the “canyons & hells bells/blue hole” if you’re with a good company they’ll arrange a trip there with you if the political situation there allows.
We normally travel with a group of 20+ divers with hotel, transfers & nights out etc arranged by Elite & choose not to go all inclusive, this way you get to see and experiance so much more.
Certainly recommend it for all levels (ours go from complete beginner to instructor level) a great fun filled trip every time.

I’ve been snorkelling in Dahab near Sharm. I want to say there is really beautiful deep canyon under water there. As i remember it is named as blue hole.
So i recommend you visit this small village for snorkelling.
We had a briliant time – 9 dives in 2 weeks. Various sites. Our instructor Bill was really great. We saw the biggest Napoleon Wrasse I have ever seen. Probably the only thing we didnt see was a turtle.
Best diving I have ever done comparing to Jamaica, Turks & Caicos & Cancun/Cozumel. Did the SS Thistlegorm wreck dive. Got caught in a current in another dive & was being pulled toward a 1000 foot drop straight off a cliff, surfaced at that point!
