It turned out to be a holiday of 'firsts' for Simon Berry with his first trip to Sharm and the first guest to complete the BSAC Ocean Diver course. Simon's partner, Amelia Charles is a BSAC instructor and gave Emperor BSAC Instructor, Steve Kehoe, some valuable assistance. Steve was very impressed with Simon's enthusiasm during the course, "Every time we did a sheltered lesson or open water session Simon improved and his confidence grew enormously."
Simon, meanwhile, had a wonderful time, "It was a fantastic environment to learn in. Even though I was tired in the evening I enjoyed every minute of the course. To be able to do the Ocean Diver course on holiday was perfect for me as work commitments and life in general make it difficult to do this at home. Steve made it fun, safe and very informative all the way through."
Hopefully Simon's experience will encourage others who would like to do their BSAC training or elements of their courses in the Red Sea. Contact Emperor Divers on info@emperordivers.com.

Well done Simon for being the first, but I would like to say in the same week, I also passed my Ocean diver, I was the second person to qualify, with the help of Davin and there was also a third person to do so that week!
See you all soon
Tammy
Well done to you also Tammy. The commercial side of PADI has always dominated the dive centres abroad and it's great to see Emporer now offering BSAC qualifications.
