We are recently back from our trip to the Movenpick @ El Quseir and diving with Extra Divers Worldwide.We had a really good time and were treated to a dive led by Marc,the manager of the dive centre ,into the caves that are in the bay.We found the dive centre very well run with a high standard of cleanliness.The hot showers at the beach/dive centre were a joy as we found the water @ 26c a tad chilly in 3mm suits.The flight times are really good too so thanks for booking us on the Thomas Cook flight.
