Mallorca / Hurghada

I have a couple of weeks away in the next month:

Cala D'Or, Mallorca
Hurghada, Egypt

The first week in Mallorca will be mainly to entertain my family, but I
would like to do a couple of dives. The second week will be for me to go
diving (and maybe wind/kitesurfing).

In Hurghada, we will be very near a school called "Colona"
(www.colona.com) so I am tempted to use them unless I hear compelling
reasons why not to.

Can anyone recommend a school or two (or warn me of places to avoid)? If
it makes any difference, I have PADI AOW + Nitrox and I last dove 8
weeks ago (Maldives, don't do any in the UK)

Hi ,

Just returned from Mallorca where I dived at Cala Bona with Albatros Diving
http://www.baleares.com/albatros-diving/ingles.htm
this would be about a half hour car trip from you.

Nice people, but equipment and supervision not brilliant - here's your
stuff - get on with it (despite it being my first seadive, boatdive, - in
fact first dives since
passing open water!).
Dive sites ok, plenty of viz but not much in the way of fish - tho I
understand this is typical of
mallorca these days.

Also spotted a dive centre at Cala Mallorca, but didn't have time to look
into it.
I guess there's probably one in every Cala to be honest.

Handy interactive map of mallorca

Good luck
