Would love to do diving, been in my mind since I was a kid.

Have to agree the diving over there is amazing! I can highly recommend Camel Dive based in Namma Bay. Ive dived a few times with them now and they are very very good. Im there on a weeks family holiday this time so not sure i will manage to sneak away for some diving... i will try though :)

I agree.. And one of the best things about diving with Camel is the Camel bar after you get back.. Its a very unique bar and a must go if you're in Namma.. :D

Do they still throw nut shells on the floor in the camel bar?

Done my bsac diving course with camel. Great holiday!

when i went last there was not one building at ras um said,ras mohamed and all along that coast.
Had to catch a bus from the airport...or should i say hut! to the dive center with some army guys packing ak47s :ack2:.
Then on the second trip out an israel gun boat stoped us :ack2: had my cam corder taken and the film ripped out for filming them,this was at the time the first gulf war was on. apart from that it was amazing diving :)

Well Ras Mohamed would be still ok as its a protected natural location.. Not so for Um el Said :(.. Even Shark's bay is full of hotels and resorts.. Last time i went there to dive we needed a 4x4..

Same for Nosrani and the Gardens.. Unfortunately most of the shore diving sites have gone that way now.. If you want to get great diving these days you need a boat dive.. I highly recommend Tiran and if you're willing to spend the night on a boat definitely try to dive the Thislegorm.. Actually now they have some fast boats that would get you there and back on the same day.. Unless you want to dive the Thislegorm at night :D

And for all the bike lovers, the Thislegorm probably has the world's largest collection of WWII BSA motorbikes.. Unfortunately some divers in the early days have been looting the bikes from all the little tool bags.. etc.. But its still a brilliant experience.. :D
