If you do decide to use them call, ask for Collin and ask for some advice on best dive resorts and dive packages. He's very friendly and always happy to help.

Thanks for that Steve, I will definitely make a note of that and keep that as an option

In Eilat there are quite afew dive centres you can dive through, try Coral Sea Divers, Baracuda dive centre, and Manta-Red Sea Sport Club.
Baracuda is a very new and family like dive centre, run by Amnon Heine, great guy, all instructors there are very professional. i highly recomend it.
i could gtive you contact details for all centres above if you wish.
in Sinai there are the Camel centres, also very professional.
if you get to Israel, let me know, I'll take you diving to places divers do not go, places that only researchdivers have access to
hope this helped.

DiverDaniel - You're making me have to make a decision (i hate decisions!). Israel is one country that I've always wanted to go to, my shul used to organise trips over there

Thanks for the info guys. If sharm is more busier than the others, then I think Hurghada would be the better option.

If we do end up going, probably Jan/Feb 2011 (dependant on personal crap), anyone interested in joining us? Might make it more fun, and cheaper if there's going to be a group of us????
