Need a diving holiday this year, but haven’t decided where to go, well let me help you out, I just went on my first Diving holiday and want to share the experience with you!
Hurghada is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever visited, and the Ocean “Red Sea” was amazing. The waters are so cool and calm, with clear blue seas. Egypt is a very exotic location, and everywhere is very beautiful, however Hurghada is a really the Dubai of Egypt. I was staying at a hotel called the Oberoi in the South of Hurghada. This 5 star hotel was quite modest in price, but was extremely luxurious. There was a coral reef just off the coast from here and some great locations to go Wall Diving and Free diving.
The Coral diving was amazing, I couldn’t believe all of the separate colours that I saw, not to mention all of the weird and wonderful fish there were. Now I had already been Scuba Diving before so I was considered only a slight Amateur, but I had passed my PADI novice test. This allowed me to go Scuba Diving in Hurghada. The coral part was great, until a couple of days later the next excursion took us off into the deep blue ocean. It was difficult for me to understand what was going on, because I had been staring aimlessly at a rather attractive Blonde for a while.
The Captain explained that the itinerary that I had signed up for had the Shark Diving included in it as well! Now, I am not all that good with sharks, although I can dive where they may be, I would prefer to stay away, and now I am going to be swimming with them. I told the Captain about how I felt, and he just reassured me I would be go. Now for the sake of not embarrassing myself in front of the lovely lady, I got in. Almost immediately we were met by about 4 Sharks (white tip I think). It was amazing, I had the best time of my life!
Hurghada holidays are a must do for anyone. Try Diving holidays if you ever get the chance, not to mention Hurghada diving!
