In September I've got a liveaboard scheduled. I've also got time before and after to dive or do other things. So I'm looking for suggestions and recommendations of operators, etc.
My flight gets into Hurghada. The liveaboard departs from Marsa Alam for the St. Johns route. They will transfer me between the two but only on the days immediately before/after the liveaboard, so I figured I'd base myself out of Hurghada for the rest unless there is a good reason not to and incur additional expense.
Before the trip I have about half a day. After the trip I've got an afternoon and two full days (can't dive the last day). So, what can I do? Any dive sites around Hurghada I shouldn't miss? I read somewhere about oases in the desert that are a possiblity. I was just in Cairo and Luxor last month for several days each, so a quickie trip there is not in the cards.
Thanks for any advice,
Eric
