I did some diving on Tenerife in the Canaries and wasn't all that impressed with the sea life. Amazing visibility, but lots of bare rocks, with nothing more exciting than some black sea urchins on them... Maybe I was diving in the wrong place? Is there somewhere in the Canaries that has a really good density of sea life?

Sharm El Sheikh, well, that was amazing for sea life. The last time I was there, in 2000, there wasn't much to do when you were out of the water. Are there other things for families to do nowadays? As much as I love the water, I don't think the family will want to spend all their time on the beach.

While in Sharm I went with Emperor Divers and thought they were pretty good. I wouldn't mind snorkeling from a boat, but I wonder if they would let my daughter aboard -- she'll only be 3 years old!
