Slightly inappropriate follow on from the thread about the diver that died in the Red Sea but as it appears we have some very specific knowledge here goes nothing.......
Looking to get away for a break in November for some sun and thought doubling up with getting qualified for scuba diving might make a good holiday. Tried it a few times on holiday before but would like to have the badge/book/certificate saying I'm qualified.
Given the time of year the Red Sea or possibly Oman seem likely destinations but any other suggestions or advice very welcome.
Have a window of approx 9-10 days so travel distance and time change are possible factors along with seasonal weather presumably ruling out Europe. Personally have no qualms over destination based on politics or religion as I can't imagine dive resorts are a hot bed of anti western feeling.
Over to you chaps........
