I would reccomend a course I went on a year ago with GoLearnTo which was in Sharm El Sheikh - diving into the Red Sea. I also did my PADI qualification with them and was almost offered a job there too - its a shame I already had a job to come back to, otherwise I'd still be staying there!!
I think their website is GoLearnTo.com or something - have a look, I'd def do it again!

Scuba diving in Sharm el-Sheikh is an exciting proposition. The amazing coral reefs and shipwrecks are something not to be missed out on by anyone who is serious about diving. The clarity of the water is an added bonus as there are plentiful fish and plant life species that will make the dive an especially exciting one. The area in which you can go diving in this region is also quite large and offers a variety of various diving spots that will offer you a different perspective each time you go to a new location. Combine these factors with the relative and moderate calm of the waters and you have the set up for the perfect dive.

well, I didn't really know that they give that kind of recreational service in Egypt.... I thought it was all desert activities and trekking and etc.

The best diving sites in Egypt are located in the following cities:

Hurghada
Sharm El Sheikh
Ras Mohamed
Dahab
Safaga
Marsa Alam

Every location is unique. For those who would like to dive non stop I suggest a Live aboard Safari trip. Most dive centers also operate liveaboard boats and other companies specialize in this field. These trips accommodate a range of budgets and are usually full board with unlimited diving on more remote reefs. Mini Safaris are available for 2-3 days, however the standard trips are for 7-14 days. Most of the major liveaboard destinations start from the Tiran Straits and Ras Mohammed, the famous Thistlegorm Wreck, Gobail Straits and Abu Nuhas and South through the Safaga Reefs, Brother Islands, Elphinstone Reef and Marsa Alam.

Hope this helps
