Was the port closed today? Did any dive boats go out?

... and it looks like we'll have another storm on the way soon

Thanks for the info I assume that's bad? Are those winds on Wednesday (assuming they hold) sufficient to shut down diving? Fwiw we're staying at the iberostar to minimize the amount of travel time needed to the reefs

Anyone know what might happen this coming Sunday - Wednesday? I have limited time to dive and we're bringing friends to get their certification during that 4-day period, but I'm not sure if I want them to come over if the weather won't cooperate

Reviving this thread - we're doing a safari in the Mara and we're debating where to go for scuba afterwards in late September/early October. Going to the Kenyan coast would be the easiest in terms of getting there, but I've heard very little about the quality of diving in Watamu/Malindi/Diani...

Thank you for all your opinions, everyone! One last question - for 3-night trips, it seems we have two options - Either the "Ras Mohamed - Tiran" route or the "Ras Mohamed-Thistlegorm" route (per King Snefro Liveaboards - Red Sea Liveaboards, Safari Routes, Dive Sites -Safari Routes) - any...

Awesome, thanks so much for the UAE assessment! We actually went to the Maldives to get certified for Open Water so definitely lots of fond memories (at a resort). That being said, we're looking to explore as many different places before heading back again at some later point, especially since...

Thanks for the advice! We're generally fine with losing a day to transit if the diving is *significantly* better. Specifically, we'd probably be doing a 3-4 day liveaboard on one of the King Snefro boats if we went to Sharm vs land diving in Aqaba. (Not too interested in Wreck diving, we're all...

Hey all, We're fairly new divers and planning a trip to Jordan next October. We'll be doing the standard Jordan sights, but we'd like to fit a few good days of diving in our trip. We then go to Dubai for a few days and go back home. I'd like some guidance to see whether we should try and make...
