I just sent an email to PADI Travel telling them that I would like to rebook at a later date. I feel sick.
Call me indecisive, but I've changed my mind. It ends up that the Royal Hospital in Hurghada is approved for the Covid test by Emirates. I just booked a second flight, that is fully refundable, out of Hurghada that is two days later so that I can get the test done in Hurghada instead of Cairo. So, if the liveaboard sails for the second week, I'll spend two extra days in Hurghada so that I can get tested. If it doesn't, I'll stay at a resort for a week and stick to my original flight schedule that I haven't canceled.
I contacted PADI Travel, who I hadn't heard back from anyway, and told them that I am good to go.
Ends up that my mom isn't nervous about my trip to Egypt. She is nervous about extended time in Cairo. Go figure. She thinks the Red Sea area sounds great.
