    Salem Express

    Over the years as dive guide in the Red Sea I have dived Salem many times as all the other wrecks there. I have no problem with it at all. I don't have that "eerie" feeling everybody talk about all the time. Yes people died but that is hardly something unique for Salem Express? To me this is...

    Sea conditions at The Brothers end December

    Depends on how unlucky you are. You can have excellent conditions in December but also very rough. Over my many years as liveaboard guide in the Red Sea I I cancelled only a few dives because of the conditions. Normally your guide will find a way to dive but maybe not the north plateau on little...

    simply the best, blue horizon Nov 2013 help

    November is excellent! You don't have to worry too much about the weather when you're going on a boat like blue Horizon. It is big enough to cross in fairly rough conditions and during the many years I worked for blue o two I think it was only once or twice we could not go to the advertised dive...

    Marsa Alam or El Quesir?

    If you're only worried because the logistics regarding getting to Elphinstone you should absolutely stay in Marsa Alam. There are more dive site accessible with daily boats from Marsa Alam but the town is nicer in El Queaeir. If you just want wicked diving and don't need the Piccadilly Circus...

    Where to dive around Marsa Alam

    Thyere are plenty of good dive sites in both Marsa Alam arean and Fury Shoal but there are much less boats and divers on the sites in Fury Shoal. Personally I prefer Fury Shoal when it comes to the quality of the reefs. Also you have dive sites like Claudio, Maksour, Abu Galawa (Sorayer & Kebir)...

    Diving 1st liveaboard St Johns Egypt in Nov

    Ah... Grand Sea Serpent... For sure you will have a great week. When it comes to marine life you can bump in to almost anything in November. If you pass by Elphinstone you have good chances for Longimanus as I) said, Threshers are not impossible at all. Grey Reefshark and Hammerheads maybe. What...

    Where to go on from Dahab?

    Depending on what kind of diving you like I would suggest different itineraries. Late September is a good time for Southern Egyptian Red Sea but I need to know if you like walls, coral gardens, wrecks or any other preferences. Let me know more and I can advise. I will be on the boat guiding a...

    Diving 1st liveaboard St Johns Egypt in Nov

    Normally when you have a current you chose to dive with it so you don't have to worry about that. I make a current check before the dives on sites where I suspect the current might be dictating the dive planning. St. John's is always good all year around and if you depart from- and return to...

    Where to go on from Dahab?

    Sudan is tricky to get in to. You have to go to Cairo and apply for a visa and wait for it for a week so it might be tight with your time frame. Why not see more of Egypt and go to Hamata or something like that? Check out more on Hamata here HAMATA ...a...
