Platinum seems to be the order of the day. And so it's with great pleasure that Emperor Fleet announces the official launch of Emperor Serenity - a Platinum Class 44m luxury boat.

Emperor Divers and, UK company, Family Diving Ltd have now officially opened the doors at their new crèche facilities in Sharm El Sheikh. Mums and Dads can now enjoy guilt-free diving, knowing their children are cared for in a safe, professional environment.

Sharm, Hurghada and Marsa Alam are now BSAC Resort Centres and so are Emperor Fleet liveaboards Tranquillity, Infinity, Majesty, and Elite.

All welcome BSAC-trained divers.

As the first ever Singles-Only trip, we weren’t sure what to expect, but, we have to tell you, it was a real success. We got people from all horizons and countries, with just a few who knew each other from previous trips. But overall, these were guests who simply wanted to come on a singles safari and enjoy the diving in a relaxed but fun atmosphere. And it worked!

Your photos could win you a FREE Red Sea Underwater Photo Workshop course AND your favourite photo printed as a 30 x 20 canvas print!

It's back by popular demand - the Emperor Divers/Ocean Visions Photo Competition! It's ever so easy, just visit our Photo Gallery and enter your photos into one of the three competition categories; Macro, Wide Angle and Standard.

Amy Bradshaw, a 15 year old PADI Rescue Diver, has become the youngest volunteer to participate in the Dahab Reef Check 2006. We would like to congratulate her and encourage her early passion for coral reefs and marine life protection. Amy, who lives in Preston, has been to Dahab before with her family - Dad Mike (DM), Mum Hazel (DM) and Jack (Jr. Advanced OW) - now there's an enthusiastic family dedicated to diving and the environment!
