Marine sightings herald an early Red Sea summer

| No TrackBacks

False killer whale-4.jpgWith so many amazing sightings, it seems summer has come early in many Red Sea locations.

In Marsa Alam a pod of false killer whales (pic left) was spotted on the way back from Elphinstone to Emperor Marsa Alam, which is exceptionally rare.

The team at Emperor Hurghada reported a sailfish near Carless Reef and dolphins galore continue to put in appearances as well as thresher sharks and mantas.

Sharm has enjoyed early sightings of hammerheads, mantas, whale sharks, dolphins and even a dugong in Ras Mohamed.

Says Emperor Divers’ General Manager, Mike Braun, “This is a great time to visit the Red Sea; so many remarkable sightings at the moment making diving even more exciting than usual. Plus we have some good-value diving/hotel packages helping to make things that little bit easier.”

Emperor Divers' NEW twin centre package

| No TrackBacks

Concorde Moreen Beach Briefing for Housereef.jpgSuch has been the popularity of Emperor dive centres in Marsa Alam and the new Hamata dive centre, we are now offering a new twin centre Hotel Package in both resorts.

Guests can enjoy four nights in Hamata at the Zabargad Berenice Beach Resort 4* All Inclusive, and three nights in Marsa Alam at the Concorde Moreen Beach 5* All inclusive.

The package includes three days' House Reef diving in Hamata and two days' House Reef diving in Marsa Alam. Prices start from £436 / €532.

Both resorts offer fabulous house reef and boat diving giving access to some of the most spectacular reefs the Red Sea has to offer. The house reef is within walking distance and is proving a great choice for divers with non-diving partners and for underwater photographers.

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.

With regular flights to Marsa Alam from most UK airports, the transfer to Hamata is just two and a half hours and is included in the price.

Email reservations@emperordivers.com for lots of information and advice.

Douglas & the Dugong: the making of a Cover Story

| No TrackBacks
Read Luke's truly moving article on the positive affect Dyson the Dugong had on top American marine journalist, Douglas D Seifert, and how Luke, Douglas and their top contacts are hoping to bring change to protect this magical creature.
 

Douglas & Dugong; the Making of a Cover Story
by Luke Atkinson, Marsa Alam Dive Centre Manager

It all started with a Bintang. Gary Ball, the previous manager of Emperor Divers Marsa Alam had been talking to a photojournalist over a glass of the local beer in Lembeh Cottages, Indonesia, who had been struggling to photograph dugongs in the wild. Gary knew of my own particular struggles with the local specimens of Marsa Alam, and also the fact that I had managed to learn enough about the whereabouts and habits of one individual that I had created a PADI Speciality all about him. He put us in touch. 5,000 emails and one revolution later, it was on – Douglas D Seifert, veteran American columnist from Dive magazine was coming over, and I had absolutely no idea what to expect.

Take a Virtual Tour of
El Gouna, Hurghada, Marsa Alam and Sharm El Sheikh

Following on from the successful Virtual Tours of liveaboards Emperor Superior and Emperor Elite recently, we have now produced a Virtual Tour of all our dive centres in El Gouna, Hurghada, Marsa Alam and Sharm El Sheikh.

The Virtual Tour fConcorde Moreen Beach Briefing for Housereef.jpgor El Gouna dive centre shows just how close the centre is to the sea with one of the main attractions being the different types of diving on offer nearby; from deep walls to shallow reefs, dolphin trips and a choice of wrecks at Abu Nuhas. Special trips can also be booked to the Rosalie Moeller and the Thistlegorm.

The marina in Hurghada is literally on the doorstep, as seen in the Virtual Tour, along with a bird’s eye view from the boats, the dive deck, sun deck and the gardens.

Marsa Alam’s Virtual Tour shows the popular Concorde Moreen Beach Resort and its close proximity to the house reef where divers can enjoy unlimited diving. There’s also a Virtual Tour of Marsa Alam’s Resta Reef dive centre.

Sharm’s Virtual Tour shares the delights of the dive centre and its facilities. With over 15 local dive sites and many more in Ras Mohamed and Tiran, Emperor Sharm has a choice of dive sites to suit all diving abilities.
