Scuba gear at 3 corners egypt (taba)

[mirk]

Hi,
Just browsing the review for taba heights 3 corners (El Wekala Resort) they all seem great, just two questions is the snorkelling equipment available on the beach or is it best to buy prior to arriving, do they get the dreaded mozi's and I f they do what s the best protection to take?

Hi, we were in Sharm el Sheikh in June and took our own snorkels with us, we bought them in Debenham's sale but you can buy them out there quite cheaply but be prepared to bargain, they are fierce bargainers but look at the quality and think what you would pay back home. Advice re mozzies, cover up well in the evenings with light clothing so the blighters can't bite. Also, I broke out in a crop of cold sores which were caused by the sun and sea (temp was about 50 celcius in June/July) so if you are prone to them put plenty of high factor on. Hope this helps.

Hi

You can hire anything you need at the hotel beach, however if you are planning on doing a lot of snorkelling i'd buy it before you go as it will work out cheaper.
