How much do diving lessons generally cost? I'm trying to get a list of fun things to do that I have always wanted to do, but have never been able to do in the States. How long are the courses?

I think pearl divers is the good one. Look for the PADI sign. That is a qualified diving instructors organization. They are in the phonebook. A friend of mine is also in the mits of setting up a ladies diving school. But am not sure on when it will start operating.

Hey Lulla,

I and about 3 friends are interested in taking up Scuba this year as well. I had a friend who was a very experience diver who just went back to Canada in June. Before he left, he gave me the names and locations of 3 dive shops. They are (in order of his experience/preference):

Pearl Divers, N 25.27419 E 51.50518

Dolphin Diving, N 25.28839 E 51.52236

World Marine Centre, N 25.28736 E 51.54769

I have not checked any of them out yet myself--next week's tasks.

If you're interested, maybe it would be an opportunity for everyone to make some new friends as well. PM me if you want.

I'd imagine some hotel clubs should have this? Can anyone confirm?
