Twelve divers from Dive Wimbledon were recently given the usual warm welcome from Emperor Divers Nuweiba. Some came for guided dives with the Emperor staff whilst others were here for PADI courses with Dive Wimbledon's first-rate instructors, Sophie Platteuw and Karen Curtis-Vincent. By the end of the week there lots of new Open Water, Advanced Open Water, Rescue and Nitrox divers all sporting happy faces!
And it was a bit of a coup for Julie Tsui from Dive Wimbledon who not only completed her PADI Open Water course but also became Emperor Nuweiba's 7,000th new guest!
Another highlight of the week for a few lucky divers was the first appearance of the season for Jayakar's Seahorse in the seagrass at our Magana dive site (pic right).
All the team of Emperor Divers in Nuweiba has been proud to show this excellent group from Dive Wimbledon the calm, stress free and peaceful Nuweiba experience!

Gary Ball, Marsa's Dive Centre Manager reminds everyone, "Do pass in your good pictures to us for our 'just for fun' pic of the week competition (this one won hands down!). All the winners go into our end of year draw to find Picture of the Year and the chance to win a brilliant prize.
You can use these courses to familiarise yourself with the techniques, knowledge, planning, organisation, potential hazards and safety skills for various areas of diving. The Specialty Course is a safe and supervised introduction to that area. We do ask that you complete one day's recreational diving before taking a specialty course to check weights, buoyancy and equipment.
