A few random questions before I head off to Egypt next week:
1. Any need to bring my reef hook? (used in the Maldives and in Palau)
2. Any need to bring my pointer stick? (used in the Philippines)
3. Can I bring a dive knife? (one lives on my BC, but I can take it off)
4. Can I bring my shears? (they live in my BC pocket, but can be removed).
5. Can I bring gloves? (not sure if needed or allowed. I will have a 5 mm wetsuit and a hood)
6. Thoughts on tipping the crew - better to use cash or charge it?
7. Tipping in general (sorry, yes, I am from the US). We'll be touring Cairo for a few days before we board the boat. Is it customary to tip in restaurants, etc?
Thanks, all!
