Come up with 50 bar (about 750 psi). They prefer that you be up in an hour. This wasn't too hard, because the water was frigid!!! |

The boats are comfortable. There was no camera table per se, but you could always use the tables inside the cabin. |

Colona Divers was terrific! Very experienced divemasters, (it's Swedish owned/operated, but everyone speaks English). They were very accomodating when we realized the unseasonably cold water temp (normally we go there in Oct. & the water is 84 degrees F) of 68-Brrrr! I usually only dive with a skin, but had to borrow a 3m from the Colona manager (Thanks again Chris!!!). The diving is awesome anywhere you go in the Red Sea! Can't wait to go back! |
