Yep, January this year & February last year. Cheap to get there,
reasonable restaurants, the times I've been daytime temperature has
been around 25C dropping to 15C overnight. I've gone with explorers
http://www.explorers.co.uk/ stayed at Narma bay weeks B&B with a 10
dive pack £340. The christmas week will be more expensive and the
dives will be extra.

Excellent stuff.

I'm hoping to get some wreck dives in too.

Went there for a weekend. Some excellent diving to be had, hotels very
nice and loads of Eyties all round the place. I enjoyed it. I'm sure
you will too.

Spending xmas day under a blazing sun lazing around in yer pool slurping
vino whilst making irritating calls to one's parents is all well and good
but I'd not do it again, It's Just Not Right.

Xmas ain't proper unless it's freezing blummin' cold IME.

Yes, a while ago. Great diving. Hot as hell in October. Probably
extremely cheap, even for the 5* places in Naama Bay. Worth going into
Sharm itself to mingle with the locals, provided that's not been turned into
some sort of theme park already.

If you can, rent a quad bike and do an escorted night ride through the
desert

Great fun .... loads of great diving (obviously ...) but if your going
to take the kids with you they may struggle to stay occupied.

Very western in facilities (MacD's, Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe,
KFC, Pizza Hut etc)

Wide range of hotels.

Take packets of Chocolate Hob Nobs to bribe UK dive centre staff with
;o)

Take earplugs if you are anywhere near the town and want to sleep from
midnight onwards ;o) the Egyptian taxi drivers seem to think its
required to toot their horns all night. Also they seem to prefer to
drive with their lights of at night.

Oh and as a final bit of advice ... if you visit the USA at a later date
with a middle east visa stamped in your passport you will get slightly
more attention than before ... of course wearing a Sharm El Shiek
sweatshirt for travelling in probably did'nt help ...

Book early. I recommend Explorers, but most of the operators
advertising in Diver or Dive magazines are pretty good.

The Dunraven and the Thistlegorm are excellent, but crowded.

I recommend spending a few days at least on a liveaboard and getting
early dawn dives on the wrecks before the day-boats arrive. You can
also dive some of the less busy sites at dusk.

OT: Take a small supply of bog-roll. Trust me on this.
