I had planned to make a return dive trip to the Red Sea this August, having thoroughly enjoyed my first trip last year. I probably won’t be able to do that for work reasons. But I’m wondering if anyone is planning to go now that Egypt is apparently allowing dive liveaboards to resume operations.
 
Im right next door so will probably go as soon as the border opens and travel is allowed again
 
One of the scuba companies we have used here are selling LOBs and trips from September onwards. Another mentioned 50% occupancy max.

But with this virus nobody knows.
 
Have a look at the other Egypt thread. P-Dog from Hawaii is scheduled for August.

And here you can find a list of the certified operations.

[Edit: that is perhaps too specific] And if you are very in to the topic, look at the Manual and Protocol of Audits for Diving Centers and Safari boats

[Edit: added] The guidelines are more something to read.


Yes. I am scheduled for August. The first boat leaves August 8th. The second boat is August 15th. There is a hiccup with the August 15th boat because there may note be enough reservations. I"m looking at, possibly, staying at a resort that week instead.

JustsurfaceInterval, Thank you for those guides to read. Very informative.
 
I am scheduled for an early September North Tour (not sure if it will take place).
I read the news that the Extra-Divers "MY Red Sea Explorer" has confirmed tours on 13.August (South Tour), 20.August and 03. September (from their FB page).
 
We were scheduled to go in early September. We had rebooked our trip from late March. But with how things are going in the US, AND the portion of our flight that got us to Egypt and back cancelled, we decided to further postpone our trip to March 2021. :(

Looking forward to (jealously) reading updates about people's trips!
 
Heading there for a BDE itinerary in early September. So far everything seems a go, so fingers crossed.
