Any dive operator will ahve boats going out regularly. There are stand-alone operators of you prefer, on faster boats (2.5hrs instead of 3.5 - 4 hrs) bookable locally at the Travco jetty.

Be aware that if you don't use a fast boat, you'll have to get up at stupid AM (3-4AM!) then get bussed to Travco (which isn't far) It is a long old day going to the Thistlegorm from Sharm. If you want to dive Red Sea wrecks, you'd really be better off on a livaboard. I've done it from Hurghada in a speedboat - once - never again! I've been out there November/December time and the water has been OK for me in a 3mm steamer, but a lot of people wil lbe in 5mm shorties. Gordon |
