The watch is a Momentum M1- AC38, is five years old. has been sent to St Moritz on regularly scheduled visits (every two years) for batteries and cleaning etc. (Last service Sep 08 (receipt available)...stayed dry for 2009 as we didn't get a chance to dive)

The watch has only about 25 dives on it, is in excellent shape, and comes with the original case, and paperwork.

New they sell for 120.00.

I've always wanted/loved the idea of scuba diving. I've been swimming since a very early age (3) and everytime I jump in the pool, the first thing I do is swim and touch the bottom. I swam competitively during high school and then just for rec after.

Fast forward that a number of years and I've done a few scuba excursions at different resorts/cruises (3 dives @ St Lucia, and 2 in Cozumel) Just a few months ago I was tinkering with the idea of picking up scuba diving by going for my OW cert.

Long story short, my wife was itching for a vacation trip and so we went to Cuba. While there I managed to chat it up with a few DM's and they referred me to their instructors and I ended up doing my OW cert down in Cuba.

So, I got my OW cert a week ago in Cuba and now that I'm back I'm at a loss. I've only ever had experience diving in warm clear tropical waters and it's always been led by DM's. Now that I have my OW, I'd like to continue diving closer to home. I've read alot of stuff on SB as well as OD forums and realized that the experience I've had thus far and what I'd be expecting in local waters will be very different, and hence my confusion.

I guess my first step is to finalize a gear list and go shopping? Any ideas/suggestions? (I do have mask and fin.. but the fins would be the wrong type for diving up here)

Can anyone recommend a dive op in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt? We'll be there in mid October. I'll have about 3 days/nights to dive while in that area.

Can anyone recommend dive sites around there? So far I've heard about Ras Mohammed, Thistlegorm and Tiran Island as being good ones. What do you think?

I'm not sure if I'd have enough time to go to Dahab while there. Is it worth the trek?
