Dive shop and Hotel recs for Hurghada

[rsqdvr]

I am looking for recommendations for dive shops and hotels near hurghada for this September. Looks like the last post on this was in 2023 so hoping someone who has been there recently is willing to offer advice. I will be getting off a liveaboard on the morning of the 27th (9am) and was hoping to go somewhere that I could dive again that day. My flight back to Cairo and home isn't until 2am on the 29th so was thinking of getting 2 (maybe 3) dives on the 27th then will have more than 24 hours before my flight. I am looking for something that maybe won't have a ton of kids. I am traveling solo for this trip and won't have a car. Soma Bay might be a possibility if I could do half day or late day dives and someone found transportation there and back to the airport.
Thanks in advance.

I didn’t get any responses so I made an executive decision! After looking around, I decided to book with scuba world divers in Makadi Bay, just south of Hurghada. I’ll be staying at local hotel and doing just a couple of dives on my one day down there. Hopefully it all goes well.

I'm looking now for 3 nights in Hurghada after a LOB out of Port Hamata that ends on Sept 13. I'll check Makadi Bay on your recommendation. Thanks for asking and answering! Any info on airport transport from Makadi?

Scuba World divers are a good diving OP, very friendly.
Their rental equipment tends to be partly old and sometimes it broke on a dive trip.
I had 2 BCD straps break on me while pulling it tight and some trouble with the inflators. They changed everything promptly of course. They offer nice divesites and I was lucky to see several whalesharks with them.
