Well winter is well n truly over, and whilst summer is literally about to hit here any day in the next week or so, the long stretch of spring in cooler climes can seem eternal, so, why
not pop along to
Explorers Scuba Diving Holidays site and book yourself a little
early sunshine? In conjunction with Ocean
College they have some great deals going on in Sharm el Sheikh, not
to mention diving trips a little further afield. The water is still about 25ºC,
so while it is not roasting, it is faaar from arctic, and it is teetering on zooming up to the high twenties. And the sun is pretty much here to stay for the next few months or so. There are of course other dive centes here, with a few of them being the most popular and therefore probably most organised and reputable, namely: Camel Dive, Red Sea College, Emperor Divers with Werner Lau and Sinai Divers catering for both our British and Nordic visitors as well.
There is also a handy flights only page: Red
Sea Flights for those of you who have a good friend or a burgeoning
career on the Egyptian riviera! Whilst on the subject of flights, please remember that when you land in Sharm, if you are planning to dive in the Ras Mohammed National Park, you do need to get a visa. Simply go to the bank with the shortest queue in the arrivals hall, before you go through passport control and purchase your visa stamp.
Alternatively, if you are looking for some dedicated diving with a little luxury thrown in,
try a liveaboard with the Tony
Backhurst or Blue OTwo crews. It truly is a diver's dream, live on a luxury boat,
do a bit of diving, bit of eating, some more diving and a bit of sleeping…
bliss! They have some great trips to the Red Sea as well as world wide
trips to the Maldives, Thailand and Sudan to name a few.
Whilst here, you want to stay healthy, so here is a little about the health aspects of visiting a desert, and some more about the health aspects of diving.
And once you are here in Sharm el Sheikh, how about a few things to do, places to go etc? Already mentioned elsewhere, Clare H at Ocean College has created her own range of uniquely funky silver, handmade jewellery. Pop along to the Ocean College dive centre to order your made to measure solid silver pendants. Or order your items ahead of your arrival, on line via us here at DiveBunnie. Requests can be taken for horoscope signs,sharks, dolphins, starfish etc. You want it, she can create it. You can also email us your advance designs in order to pick them up when you next visit.
Still on the jewellery front, you can also pop along to Pearls and Gems to get yourself decked out.
Need to style yourself and look sassy out of the water?? Then pop along to Eftalia in Naama Bay for a fantastic hairdo. Featured in the Mix Magazine here in Sharm for styling the bride (myself), the groom, the bride's mother and half the guests at the wedding of the year here last summer!
Make your appointments via this number: +20 165 622 307.
For a fun night out, pop along to The Tavern our local sports bar. Three versions, include one in Naama Bay, one by our dive centre on Motels street, and one Papa's Tavern, for the divers in Hadaba. These bars were started by our very own Charlie and Monty who both had started off as diving instructors before venturing into the realm of British bardom, and bringing much loved bacon butties, sport and British Breakfasts to us ex-pats wanting an occasional taste of home.
Of course those of you who have been to Sharm many a time, you might find yourself thinking of popping up to Dahab for a little trip. Here is a new place where you can have a bit of an eco holiday, hosted by Louise and Birgit, see for yourself what they have to offer:
