The trip
Sharm El Sheikh
The Hotel
|
For the trip we were staying in the Sonesta Club hotel.
The hotel itself is extremely nice in a courtyard design with a pool and poolside bar in the centre.
The 271 rooms are furnished in Nubian-style carved furniture.
The hotel is a fifteen minute walk from the centre of Sharm-El-Sheikh
|
|
The hotel has two restaurants (Nubian and poolside), a disco and a bar.
The hotel also sports a health club and a shuttle bus service to the
beach (part of the sister Sonesta Beach hotel complex).
The two pools in the complex have excellent sun bathing facilities and a poolside bar
serving bar snacks all day.

Red Sea Diving College
|
The trip was arrange through the Red Sea Diving College.
They provided any equipment we needed to hire (basically just weights), a boat and two divemasters
called Margaret Johnston and David Lord.
Margaret & David led several of our dives and were responsible for selecting the dive sites,
setting out a dive plan giving us an overview of the site and leading some of the dives.
