Asmaa ext.jpg

Emperor Asmaa has enjoyed a refit and facelift and, from the end of April, will be operating new routes to the breathtaking sites of St Johns and Fury Shoals from Emperor Divers Hamata. The proximity of the boat to the dive sites means the week-long trips save travelling time to St Johns, and the legendary Fury Shoals, which equals more diving time at these deep South dive sites.

A custom-built motor yacht designed with the diver in mind, Emperor Asmaa comfortably accommodates 20 guests in 10 twin-berth cabins, all ensuite. The cabins and salon are fully air-conditioned, there is a large dive deck and sun deck and free Wi-Fi where there is a signal. As with all Emperor fleet boats, guests are guaranteed a minimum of two dive guides. She is also equipped with NITROX and may provide up to two tanks a day, free of charge, depending on demand.

With the ‘Fury and Friends’ itinerary costing just £559 for 7 nights, Emperor Asmaa offers genuine value for money for divers looking to explore some of the best sites the Red Sea has to offer.

Due to Hamata Port being so close to Fury Shoals, Emperor Divers is able to offer departures on Tuesdays and Wednesdays without compromising the diving time. Guests arriving on a Tuesday will spend seven nights on board; Wednesday arrivals spend six nights on board with the final night in the Zabargad Berenice Resort, where Emperor Diver’s Dive Centre is located.

‘Fury & Friends’ is a 25+ itinerary, meaning that divers have managed 25 or more dives on a seven-day safari, whilst ‘Fury & St Johns’ is a 21+ itinerary, delivering 21 or more dives.

With direct flights to Marsa Alam, it's only a 2.5 hour transfer to Hamata.

Emperor Elite spruces up nicely

| No TrackBacks

Emperor Elite looks rather lovely after her dry dock 'face lift'.

Her saloon has had a makeover, her dining room has been given more space to eat, relax and share after-dinner dining tales and the top deck now welcomes guests with new comfy, gleaming sun beds. She was a beautiful boat before, much admired by many, but we've just taken her up a notch.

Come and enjoy her and leave the humdrum behind for a short while.

New dive centre in Hamata

| No TrackBacks

Hamata Fury Shoals Coral Reef Luke for Facebook.jpgThere has been much excitement in the Emperor team as we open our latest dive centre in Hamata. Here, some of the best Red Sea diving is right on your door step, including the legendary Fury Shoals.

This part of the southern Red Sea is pristine and delivers diving days that echo those early times of ‘pioneering’ diving, far away from the crowds. The dive sites around Hamata offer big fish, bigger corals, small critters, wrecks, shallow caverns and steep drop-offs with typically stunning visibility.
 
The deep south of the Egyptian Red Sea is an unspoilt paradise on land and beneath the waves. Hamata has some of the best Red Sea diving right on your door step, including the legendary Fury Shoals. Emperor Divers is ideally located right on the beach of the Zabargad Resort and is a PADI Dive Resort/BSAC Travel Partner.

House reef, RIB/Zodiac and Day boat diving
Come and enjoy the fabulous house reef, RIB and day boat diving from the small marina in Hamata. This area truly is the divers' choice when you're looking for some of the most spectacular reefs the Red Sea has to offer. Our day diving boat is just three minutes away at the marina, whilst the house reef is within walking distance and a great choice for those with non-diving partners and for underwater photographers.

Zabargad Resort bridge pool landscape59b.jpgEmperor Divers General Manager, Mike Braun, explains, "We have been keen to open a dive centre here for some time and the opportunity arose when invited by Zabargad Resort to manage the superb house reef and daily diving. This part of the southern Red Sea is pristine and delivers diving days that echo those early times of ‘pioneering’ diving, far away from the crowds.  The dive sites around Hamata offer big fish, bigger corals, small critters, wrecks, shallow caverns and steep drop-offs with typically stunning visibility."
 
Dive sites galore!
Daily diving from Hamata offers much more flexibility and variety, which means guests can often have stunning sites like Sha’ab Hamham Said, Gota Bohar and Gota Sataya Soraya all to themselves, whilst, of course, being able to visit the famous liveaboard sites Sha’ab Claudio, Sha’ab Maksour and Malahi . There are also a few wrecks in the area such as the sailing yacht on Abu Galawa Sorayer and Tien Hsing on Abu Galawa Kebir.
