Hurghada diving - recommendations?

[jason8612]

Any diving centres that someone could recommend? I will be there for 7 days, so I can get about 5 solid days of diving in.
any specialties worth doing there? I'm certified as a Rescue(working on DM) Nitrox, deep, wreck, night, UW photo, Nav.
Any other recommendations? Is a 3mm wetsuit too thick in end of June?

Thanks

Although most if not all divecenters have a pickup and return service,it might be good to know what hotel your gonna be staying in.

3mm too hot? BRRRRRRRRRR... no just perfect for my taste.. maybe also a lycra under expect 26 degrees allthough its been colder than normal this year..

What about tipping? I read that you tip everyone there basically. whats the tip for a bellman that brings you bags? What about a maid? What about a day tip for diving? Who do I tip? the whole staff, or just my guide? and how much?

Also, can I bring a knife and gloves into hurghada, but not use them for diving?

Ahd WHY would you want to bring a knife and gloves,if NOT for diving.

!!!

I can speak only if diving is concerned, yes you can have knife and gloves underwater but still you have to respect the marine environment.

Because right after that I'm going to visit family for 2 months back in the USA and continue my diving training and I won't be flying back to my house in Poland to grab any extra supplies...

Generally speaking, they're pieces of dive gear so if you're asking about the possibility of bringing them to Egypt, the answer is yes it's possible.
