Dive operator out of uk: Aquatours anyone ever use them?

[richh32]

I was thinking of booking a liveaboard trip through a company in England called Aquatours. Looks like they have charter flights set up from Gatwick to Hurghada. It just seems so inexpensive, there has to be a catch. Has anyone ever booked a liveaboard through them? If so the old cliche "You get what you pay for" apply?
Thanks in advance

If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Not even probably. Cool avatar pic.

If you look on some UK based forums etc you will see that they are in fact a well know and very reputable travel company. If you also look on some other UK based Dive Travel companies it is ridiculously cheap to travel from the UK to the Red Sea. You can go for a week staying in very nice hotels with five days diving and your flight for under $1000 or a liveaboard for the same kind of price. It is why many UK and European divers go to either Sharm or Hurgada for long weekends all the time.

If you look on divernet.com it will give you lots of information. Just remeber the Red Sea in winter is cool and can be rough.
