Egypt - the red sea anytime! there are many resorts there and its a world famous diving location.
From previous experience though, i absolutley loved the Shandrani hotel in Mauritus, amazing dives with the most amazing corals, fish and wrecks. They also providing offical PADI training for every level you need with the types of dives on offer to!
Also the hotel is incredible! amazing food, perfect location, stunning weather. Additionally there are many hotels in close distance where you can get a taxi to for some drinks or meals if you want to see out of your resort.
When we went a 14year old have an equally great diving holiday as the 21yr old, the 35yr old and the 40yr old.
- Go threre and you wont regret it for sure! although it was costly (for a reason!)Best resort / hotel for diving holiday for mixed abilities?
the sheraton in sharm el sheikh is the place for you. the in house aquarius dive centre has something for everyone. you can learn in the house reef or go off on day trips to the best sites in the northern red sea. i went there twice last year and it's all very organized and i would recommend them to anyone.
I would really recommend doing a PADI course before you go. It would allow you to have a lot more time for diving when you get there instead of wasting your whole time learning something you could have learnt at home.
Your holiday wreaks of Sharm el Sheikh!!! :-)
If you are heading from UK and are looking for a holiday kind of holiday with your diving, bars etc go for Sharm
On the other hand, I have spent about 5 weeks in Dahab over the past 2 years and find it very relaxed, and is much cheaper than Sharm. The bars won't be as busy as Sharm but they do exist - but mainly at the hotels.
Enjoy your trip though - very jealous!
Why don't you try Gozo - one of the Maltese Islands? They have a few PADI diving schools there and these will give you every help you need. The local people are just great - there is some nightlife but nothing rowdy. There is much to see and lovely restaurants, the waters are clear and it's just a great experience. They have 5-star hotels - some on the coast - but the Kempinsky is just fabulous.
I recommend Jumeirah beach club resort in Dubai. It has its own diving club and qualified instructors to provide diving lessons. Visit http://www.thatsdubai.com/dubai-resorts.鈥?/a> to read more
I guess you should target Marsa Alam. It is in the most south part of Egypt, on the Red Sea. This part of Egypt is new (like Sharm El Sheikh 25 years ago), very expensive, but what you will see while diving is unbelievable.
Most Hotels there are actually resorts and 95% are 5 stars.
Arrange your booking through a travel agency otherwise you'll be screwed.
