Diving in Sharm

My experience is that it is better to pack your regs in your luggage. Dive
knives are not allowed within the Ras M National park.

Computer in your hand luggage, plus a few items to use if your bag gets
stuck in UK.

Knife in hold baggage OK, but no real need for it when in the water. The
only use I ever found for it aboard was slicing cheese and peeling oranges.
Don't bother with gloves (not allowed in water, as bare hands discourages
people from touching) or hood - water plenty warm enough. Use your baggage
allowances as you see fit. We would want to take all our kit as carry-on,
but this is clearly impossible. Carriers are relatively ruthless with excess
baggage charges as a large proportion of passengers are divers and up to /
over the limit, compared to shorts and sandals only holidaymakers to other
non-diving resorts.
