Emperor Soma Bay's Manager, Denise Fletcher, recently received the 'Red Sea Defender' award from the Governor of the Red Sea in recognition of the dive centre's work in helping HEPCA (Hurghada Environmental Protection & Conservation Association).
Soma Bay has been extremely proactive in helping HEPCA with their environmental programmes, particularly the mooring line project. At the same ceremony, the Governor was presented with an award from the Shark Project, given to Egypt for 'Shark Guardian of the Year 2006', for banning the fishing of sharks throughout the Egyptian Red Sea.
