Un-Usual Dives!

[redseadiver]

I've done almost all the regular dives in Sharm El-Sheikh and Dahab, and i'm looking for something new .. other than Tiran, Ras Mohamed, And Local Dive Sites .. I heard that there's some cool dives in El-Tor City, i'm asking now about how to get there.
If anyone knows about that, i'll be glad to get any info from him/her.

Thank You:14:

We're seeking now some un-usual dives in the Red Sea and maybe Alex as well. You can join http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RedSeaShadow/ to be informed with the latest.

Alex as well!! but i heard it's so difficult to dive Alexandria .. needs a lot of permissions for a very limited dive sites .. is that true?

We're trying Alex. Yes it needs lots of permissions. The main problem is the absence of respectful dive centers in Alex.
For the time being we're organizing a trip on Feb 17 and 18 to Sharm El Sheikh. We'll dive the Dunraven wreck then the Yolanda and Ras Ghozlani ISA.

 

[redseadiver]

yeah, the Dunraven and Yolanda r OK, but 1 dive each is more than enough .. Ras Gazlani is really nice place .. i recommend u the ThistleGorm wreck .. i did it almost 15 times now, and i haven't got enough of it yet
hopefully we'd meet when u're in Sharm.

 

[Red Sea Shadow]

Well. This trip is two days on daily baots. One day Yolanda and Ras Ghozlani and the other to the Dunraven. I may take your word that Dunraven is one dive. Do you have recommendations for the second dive in the second day? Obviously it should be somewhere between Dunraven and Ras Mohamed. I prefer Ras Katy. What do you think?

 

[redseadiver]

if u're talking about a local dive site, then the best option would be Ras Umm Sid .. it's always good, make a drift dive to the right direction,stay shallow for the 1st 5 minutes, then go directly to the 25m. - 30m. then when u reach the corner take a swim into the blue (very high possibility to see sharks)
good luck

 

[Red Sea Shadow]

No I'm not talking about a local site. We'll be on the boat anyway. I know Ras Umm Sid is maybe the best local site in Sharm but this is a trip for Egyptians. Noramally, Egyptians don't like local sites.
I think Sharks Observatory would be fine. What do you think?
Feel free to PM me and send me your phone number in order to meet there.

if u're in Ras Mohamed then don't miss the Jack-Fish Alley.

During my last trip to Dahab I dove the left side (north) of the Bells. It's really wonderful but beware; you'll be drifting against current. Also there're some shelters that permit downward currents so it's advisable not to cross 30m depth.
