Does the hotel or Melia Sinai have a Russian speaking dive center instructor?
I want to go diving specifically... I was in Sharm in Sunrise 5 * six months ago... Is there a Russian dive center in nearby hotels or at least a Russian-speaking instructor? (I want to get a certificate). Are there slides in this hotel or in Melia Sinai?

As far as I know, it is better to get certificates from friends who are professionally engaged in diving not at hotels, but in dive centers that are on the coast, where you can also find Russian-speaking instructors. At least cheaper. Try to look for information about dive centers.
As for Melia, the hotel is more designed for a relaxing or romantic getaway. It seems to me that you with an active, as far as I remember, baby, he is not quite suitable. I heard that in Sunrise Albatros and Tirana water park everything is fine with this :)

Nikolay, Melia Sharm is better. New hotel.
But the hotels are Italian.
And this is very bad, almost gypsies.

And about the staff
Dad got up early in the morning, at half past six, when breakfast was just starting. I went to the beach, where I borrowed three deck chairs by the sea, skillfully securing them with bicycle cord locks. Then he returned to us, and the whole family went to breakfast. However, dad was haunted by something, and he went to the beach, where he saw an elderly Italian woman lying on one of our sunbeds, after which she gets up and tries to move the sunbed, which was in vain - it was fixed, as mentioned above , to a table with an umbrella. Dad tried to explain to her that the sunbed was his, but she did not want to listen to anything, complaining that she bought this place on the beach for five dollars. Father continued to politely explain to the Italian woman that the place was ours, but she burst into screams. By that time, my mother and I had already arrived. The whole family decided that let the Italian lay down next to us, but this screaming grandmother did not like it either. Dad moved another sunbed especially for her, and tried to calm the Italian, who was already howling just like a siren. He did not touch the Italian herself, and did not even touch it, he simply tried to prevent the conflict with the usual persuasion. In the end, she calmed down a bit, and lay down, without stopping cursing us, on the floor.

on the sunbed set for her by my father. It would seem that everything calmed down, but after a while the old Italian turned on the siren again, which finally angered all the tourists from Russia who were lying near us. The beach boys tried to give her other people's places, but dad opposed this, which caused them discontent. Of course, they are running their own shadow business, and some Russian is trying to expose them!
After such an unsuccessful attempt to take over once again someone else's place, by 12 o'clock, the crazy granny managed to call all the managers to the beach twice, who, instead of solving the problem, stood by doing nothing.
We were tired of watching all this bacchanalia, and dad went to the sea to swim. After he returned and began to take off his underwater suit, he was approached by one of the scourge fights, who, as you might guess, took almost the most active part in this shady business, and said, “Russian, do you want a problem? There will be a problem." The Pope drove him away, but without threatening, he simply told the Arab to leave. Some time later, two young Italians approached us, in a fairly drunk state, and began to beat my 53-year-old father.

As it turned out later, a recently approached scourge found these youths and lied to them, as if my father was cruelly insulting their compatriot. What happened next is not so difficult to guess. The Italians pounced on my dad, and literally began to beat him. Result: Dad's leg was injured, and as we later found out in Moscow, two ribs were broken, as well as dozens of abrasions, bruises and a broken forehead. If my father hadn’t defended himself, my mother wouldn’t have started shouting “Russians, help!”, And no one would have dragged the Italians away, then the injuries would have been much worse. And the most disgusting thing is that the same scourge was holding dad so that he could not defend himself.
When this nightmare ended and the Russians separated the fighting, we were only approached by managers and some guards, who, in theory, were supposed to prevent everything. I vaguely remember what happened next, because I was in such a state of shock that I simply could not comprehend anything soberly. Just knocking on closed doors, figuratively speaking. And so it was, because all the staff tried to hush up this matter. The “doctor” who arrived said that dad, who could not walk, was faking, and in general it was all our fault.

The police we called were called back by the hotel. The Russian embassy ignored us. The guide from the Italian side threatened me that if I told the tourist police, they would write this about us, and in general my family would repeatedly regret it. Fortunately, with my family there were about ten more screaming Russian women, two men, and Pegasus guides Vasily Slipenchuk, along with Kristina Gavrilova. Vasily went with us later to the police, and continued to help us throughout the "rest". Our guides were threatened in every possible way, and Ekaterina from “Guest Relations” stood nearby, eavesdropping, and then told the hotel management. Managers, it is worth mentioning, in a conversation with Russian tourists suddenly forgot the Russian language, and began to understand English poorly. But they understood Italian perfectly, and with pleasure and irony told the Italians about what happened, so that everyone would laugh together. Somehow we got a lawyer and a translator from Seti First, who later played both sides, reporting all our actions to the Italian side.

If it weren’t for our persistence with my mother, and the help of the guide Vasily, then dad would probably have been taken to the Alexandria prison together with the Italians, where they would continue to impose the adoption of the “settlement agreement”, to which the Arabs so vehemently persuaded both sides.
And yet, we managed to get the Italians to admit their guilt, and the pope was released. But no one gave us the documents on the case, and we barely asked for all the certificates from the hospital about the state of my father, just like we asked for an examination. The hotel did not apologize to us, the management supported the Italian side to the last, and the Arab who started all this was not fired, and, most likely, is still working.
This is the end of the story.

kohanchuk2. Melia Sinai has a good diving center. Training + descent with an instructor. Do not listen to anyone I was there. In awe of the reefs and fish. Specially sailing yachts with divers come to dive in this place. As for the sharks, it’s true and more than once on the beach of Melia. This is because the instructor's sharks are specially fed to drive tourists.

kohanchuk2 - if you call the number I gave you, you can find out who to contact in Sharm. Our girl works in one of the dive centers there. It doesn’t matter where the dive center is located - they will bring you and take you to it. in special places for beginners. (Or in any case, they must pass at a depth of 6-9m by the hand with an instructor.)
