well i guess i'm most concerned about finding dive spots that are relatively unspoiled... not the overdived and ultra-touristy sites... i can do my own research but i was wondering if you had any specific sites/suggestions to use as a jumping off point. i'm a pretty spoiled diver, so i really like getting off the beaten path. Fiji is my favorite place in the WORLD for diving!

I really want to dive in the Red Sea!!! I'm doing a TopDeck Pyramids and Beaches this summer and it looks like our only opportunity to dive is in Dahab. Do you have any suggestions as far as specific dive locations or companies go? I'm an advisor at the KY branch :)

hi! My name's Lydia and I recently moved to Pasadena from upstate NY. I'm interested in meeting people to share travel stories and maybe an adventure or two! Where have you traveled? I lived in Mexico for a year as an exchange student, studied Mayan ruins in Honduras, toured Costa Rica, learned about tropical birds in the Dominican Republic, saw Niagara Falls 3 times, visited my brother in Germany twice (he's been living there for 13 years!), and sailed from Puerto Vallarta Mexico to Papeete, Tahiti via the Marquesas =) Currently I'm thinking about heading down to New Zealand over winter break... Hope to hear from you soon - I'd love to hear about your travels! ~Lydia =)

Thanks for the message!!! Honestly, most of my pics are kind of old. I first went to Egypt on a Study Abroad program in 2001. It was before they stopped allowing cameras in the Museum. So, I got pleanty of pictures without much of a problem. It is a shame that you missed Luxor. When you go back, definately let me know. You can call 800-218-6583 or 800-777-0112 and just ask for me. I love to talk about Egypt. : ) Hana
