Hi Jamie,

morgand...

On Sharm........what sort of advice do you need ? you seam to have it
pretty much sorted........but if you want to take a look at red sea diving

my experience with the Egyptians is that they are friendly, helpful and in
no way dangerous (except maybe for the shop keepers, they can be annoying)
and that Egypt is a safe country where (tourist)police does a lot of
checking and they are present everywhere to give you a very safe feeling..
It takes only one or just a few lunatics to ruin your vacation and maybe
your life. And you can meet them anytime, anywhere. Chances that you run
into them in Egypt are not that much higher than in Paris, London or New
York (or Cairo :-).
Looks like a wonderful trip you've planned. Enjoy it!

PS July can be hot, though............

chilly...

You might consider also making this post at uk.rec.scuba. I believe there
are more people that frequent that group, that also frequent the Red Sea.
