Hi guys. I'm doing an Egypt tour for 2 on 2 June, starting in Cairo. However, I booked our flight to arrive the evening of 27 May with the intention of doing a little diving first. I'm advanced and have about 55 dives, she's open water and has 23. It's mostly about great diving for us as other things will be done on our tour. We want someplace fun, pretty and clean, but it doesn't have to be particularly luxurious.
Questions
1) Dahab vs Shar vs Hurghada- what's best for a last minute trip of this type
2) Since I'm arriving in the evening, and have to be in Cairo sometime on 2 June, what's the best transport? Overnight bus? Flight? Can I pre-book a bus?
3) Can anybody recommend a dive resort? I'm hoping <$90 for hotel and <$75 per two-tank dive...maybe cheaper if we get 6-10 at a time
Thanks in advance. Normally I research the hell out of things, but there are other points of the trip I'm still running around like crazy planning (going to Europe first, work, vaccines, etc)
