Yeah - don't buy your toiletries at the hotel shop.
You're right on Ras Umm Sid - a crime if you don't dive there. Nice and calm for the dive part of your refresher. There are probably some cheap shops for supplies as it's where all the dive staff live (in the flats around the corner from where you'll be).
You're also nearer to Old Sharm, go check out the markets. And of course, the Camel Bar in Na'ama Bay. And if you want some awesome local food - go find Gado in Na'ama Bay.
