Hello i am living/working in Cairo and am also a divemaster unfortunatly the best diving is in Sinai which means you are looking at a 6-7hr car/bus ride. PM me if you want and i will give you my cell # you are welcome to hitch a ride when i go diving. I usually dive in Dahab as it is way more laid back then Sharm el Sheikh. However you can't beat boat diving in Sharm.

No diving in Suez (outbound area).
Hurghada is 450 KM from Cairo if hitting the new Ein Sokhna road. El Gouna is 440 KM though. These two don't offer the best diving in the Red Sea.
