Red sea diving holiday

Questions and Answers

Best resort / hotel for diving holiday for mixed abilities?

Q) There are approx 6 of us who want to go on a diving holiday to the Red Sea in May. We are of very mixed ability from never diving before to qualified instructor level so need somewhere to please all. We aren't doing it on the cheap and would like a 5 star hotel, ideally half board or b&b. We would like somewhere with a bit of life but not full of clubs and English / Irish Bars! Can anyone recommend the best resort and a really good hotel? Thanks for the info everyone. I think we definitely want to go to Egypt (Red Sea). Should we try Sharm el Sheikh, Hurghada, Dahab or somewhere else?

A) Egypt - the red sea anytime! there are many resorts there and its a world famous diving location. From previous experience though, i absolutley loved the Shandrani hotel in Mauritus, amazing dives with the most amazing corals, fish and wrecks. They also providing offical PADI training for every level you need with the types of dives on offer to! Also the hotel is incredible! amazing food, perfect location, stunning weather. Additionally there are many hotels in close distance where you can get a taxi to for some drinks or meals if you want to see out of your resort. When we went a 14year old have an equally great diving holiday as the 21yr old, the 35yr old and the 40yr old. - Go threre and you wont regret it for sure! although it was costly (for a reason!)
