Dolphin and diver, El Gouna
(Emperor stock photography)

Just dived with Emperor again, for about the sixth time over the past few years ... On arrival, check in and registration was hassle free and I dived for 4 days. Highlight was Dolphin House at Shaab el Erg, where I was alone with my buddy in the gotta and a pod of 14 dolphins came right up to us and circled us a few times. A mother then brought her calf over for a close look at us, accompanied by a big bruiser of a male (he did NOT look cute). fantastic.

The boats are big and comfortable, the hire gear is good and the briefings and safety are excellent. Thanks to Bassem, Ahmed, Terry and the guys. You can leave you kit overnight safely. The lunches, prepared by the boat crew are fabulous. I took my (non diving) parents on the boats one day and my dad said it was as good as you get in the restaurants! The crew are very helpful and friendly and clearly know what they are doing.

I saw several snorkelers and non-divers on the boat and they were not treated like second class citizens, and there were some people doing courses etc. who looked like they were really enjoying it. Everyone had a One on One instructor this week.

"We did the dolphin day trip and it was amazing. We got to swim above the dolphin pod (with their calf) and watch them jumping out of the water.

The guides were brilliant, and gave us a wonderful experience, as well as being taken to a reef to see more underwater life. I would highly recommend Emperor Divers as they are so conscious of the well being of the dolphins and the reefs and are very knowledgable about all the wildlife. I was so disappointed to see huge boats with crowds of tourists on them screaming and shouting at the sight of dolphins and watching the boats chase the dolphins just for the tourists to get their 'fix'.

Emperor Divers use a small boat and are always putting the dolphins first, not chasing them but anticipating their movements so they swim past the boat...or you in the water if you are lucky enough! Please choose this company and not one of the big boats, you might not get a bar on the boat but it's about the wildlife and being respectful to our planet and these guys are great! Thank you everyone at Emperor Divers for such a wonderful trip!"

Come and meet Gareth Winter, our new dive centre manager in El Gouna...

"I was born and raised in Cornwall, England, and have spent my life in, on and around the water. I first learnt to dive in Sharm in the early 90s. It was love at first sight. For ten years, I worked in the UK Outdoor Education Industry during which, in my spare time, I completed my Divemaster internship.

Although I have dived in the UK, throughout the Caribbean and the South Pacific, Egypt has just kept drawing me back. My IDC was passed in Sharm, following which I worked in Cornwall, then Tobago, before moving to Hurghada to join Emperor.

I now have the pleasure of being part of a great team, in a beautiful beach-front setting, diving some of the best and most famous wrecks and reefs in the world. Life is good! Discover the unhurried tranquillity of El Gouna, meet friends old and new and enjoy a very warm welcome from all of us at Emperor Divers El Gouna."

And our fond farewells to Matt and Kelly Cotton as they leave for pastures new. Our thanks for a job well done and wishing you all the best for the future.
