Hello there! My boyfriend and I are trying to plan a holiday away in the sun around the start of september... Can anyone suggest anywhere with sun and sand (and the oppertunity for me to sneak away for a few cheeky dives) that doesn't break the bank?
I'm a PADI and NAUI Divemaster, and BSAC ADI. Not looking for jaw-dropping dives (Though it would be nice), just some good solid diving...

HELP!! :p

Hi Steve

An almost impossible request to fulfil if you do not give an area :rolleyes:. However, there should be a number of places you could go to in Egypt at a good cost. Have a look at these reports from the area to help you make up your mind:

That's the big problem, what areas to go, been pondering Malta, Crete, Egypt or Croatia, from reviews of various sites/mags these seem to be the places to go...

Darren Astles' report about his recent trip to the Red Sea may have something to offer you: http://www.bsac.com/diverreports.asp?itemid=8447&itemTitle=Marsa+Alam+with+Emperor+Divers&section=1242&sectionTitle=Middle+East

Malta is nice, try Buggiba (however it spelt), can recomend corsair diving, that run good diving.

If you fancy diving somewhere new and exciting and still within Europe then try the Azores, not only fantastic diving on the lava formed topography, along with tuna and wahoo. We have the Whale watching and Swimming with the dolphins in their natural habitat. We have some great offers for 2010 also. Have a dip into our site divetheazores.com a BSAC Premier Centre based on Pico,Azores.:)
