land based dive op in Hamata

[Scubajeg1]

Hi All,
I was in Hamata sept. 2015 and dove with Emperor divers out of Hamata at a resort. This operation is now not open and I cannot find another land based dive op in this area and I do not want to be based out of Marsa Alam due to its distance from Hamata. We are looking at numerous liveaboards but would rather be land based for this area and time period,( oct.2017). Our preferance is to stay at a resort with a good dive op and good shore diving like our last trip. Please advise !!

How about TGI Diving Egypt Hamata - TGI Diving int or Orca Dive Clubs ORCA Dive Club Wadi Lahmy or Barakuda Lahami Bay Dive Center – Barakuda I've seen an Aquarius Dive Club but could not find it online, maybe also closed

I was in Marsa Alam in April/May before a liveaboard. I dived with Emperor for a day and noticed their Hamata location was closed back then

Best of luck, nice area, I did it on the southern itinerary on the RSA

I dont know how you found these options but I will ck them out. What is RSA ? I assume it is a liveaboard !! In 2015 we stayed in Marsa Alam at coraya bay resort and dove for a week , then a simply the best on emperor elite and then a week at hamata with day boat diving into the south and fury shoals area;; we thought that was the best diving of the trip ! The shore diving with emperor in hamata was simply spectacular when we got back in from the boats.
Thank you.....

Google is your friend, "Scuba Operators Hamata Egypt," they all may be closed, like Emperor, who knows?. There are very few tourists in Egypt, including the Red Sea. My wife and I were in Cairo and on the Nile last February. I did the Red Sea myself last April/May. The crash of Egyptair 804 and the numerous recent terrorist activities have not aided in the recovery. It's a real shame, a beautiful, fascinating, country. Personally, I would return, particularly to the Red Sea for diving.
