Trevor has identified a Egypt shore diving trip in October 2023. The proposal is as follows:
~ Date – 16-23 October 2023
~ Fly – Manchester to Hurgharda
~ Stay – Coral Garden Resort near Safaga. Half Board. Probably not ideal for non-diving partners.
~ Dive – with Orca Dive club (on site).
~ Operator – Booking with Regal Dive.
Package includes 10 house reef dives. Free nitrox for those qualified.
~ Price – Sharing £1195 Single £1280
~ Extras – you will need to pay for lunch and drinks.
We can dive for 6 days, so perhaps allow up to £200 for additional dives, and dives off-site by jeep or boat.
Package includes flights, 20 kg, transfers, half board accommodation and 10 dives.
The location is a bay with access close to the dive centre. The house reef has a sea grass area bounded by coral reefs to either side and looks quite interesting.
Open to all qualified divers. Note that you will need to dive with a computer, and you need to have 30 logged dives to dive the house reef unguided. (A personal guide will cost 25 Euros per dive.) There is nearly a year to clock up your dives, so you should aim to have 30 if you want to go.
I will be booking for Linda, David P, Ann and myself very soon. Deposit is £450. Let me know if you want me to book for you, or talk to any of the four of us for more information about shore diving in Egypt.
It is a small, diver orientated hotel, so the number of rooms is limited (about 32). You can leave it til later to book, but you would risk not getting a room.
