I second that and as always throw in Blue Water Dive Resort if the location is more convenient. We had quite a few non-German speakers on our last trip.As usual () i recommend James & Mac. You can browse their web site and pre-book a package.
And check directly with them when you have to show up in the morning.
I don't speak German, but had no language issues with James & Mac. They always did their briefings in both languages. Their daily boats weren't exactly new or state of the art, but definitely seaworthy and they seemed a well-run operation. They were also very kind in lending me a poncho from their gift store when I turned up without a towel (I hadn't checked into the hotel yet, so I couldn't get one). My vote goes to them, too.

in Hurghada go to the BIG or 'walking' marina - food is generally good there. Grill & Chill and the Moon are the good value for quality food places we always visit.
As others have said, in Hurghada specifically, stay away from the Quad tours and Camel Rides etc. its all crap.... just sit by a nice pool or look for a boat which will take you snorkeling, would highly recommend White Dolphin diving center (contact Tati)
Would also highly recommend taking a Garmin Inreach with you, some crocs, a nice hoody or better yet a dryrobe as Egypt starts to get windy come November and being on the boat can be cold.
