Red Sea June Diving Party

As if the diving wasn’t reason-enough to visit the Red Sea, Emperor Divers are tempting divers even further this year with their 3rd Annual Red Sea Bash in June.

All month, divers with Emperor in Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada will have the chance to join in the adventure with Underwater Treasure Hunts, win prizes, claim free NITROX, free food and beer, and – wait for it – a free Emperor Divers 'Red Sea Bash' T-shirt!

This has become a calendar event for many divers who have enjoyed the camaraderie and the chance to win prizes from free diving to diving equipment,

says Terry Simpson, Director, Emperor Divers.

So go and book your place now!

New luxury hotel in Soma Bay

Positioned on the highest point of the Soma Bay peninsula, the Cascades has a distinctive style reflecting its truly well earned 5-star status.

It has spectacular panoramic sea views from all sides and all rooms have views of the landscaped greens. The backdrop of the mountain range in the distance makes it one of the most beautifully situated hotels in Egypt.

The Cascades Golf & Country Club is Soma Bay's sporting and social focal point where the championship golf course, designed by Gary Player, combines the best of links and desert courses. This has been classed as one of the top 20 sites world-wide. There is also one of the largest and best equipped thalasso-therapy centres in the world, making this hotel ideal for relaxation after a day's diving - or just pure relaxation.

Also a wide choice of restaurants and bars, swimming pool, tennis courts, fitness centre, windsurfing, kite-surfing, catamaran and laser sailing.

Emperor Diver's centre is located within the Resort. It has a number of unique features including a 420-metre jetty extending directly from the Dive Centre to the House Reef and ideal conditions for beginners in natural, safe, calm conditions within sheltered waters.

And it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg! Emperor Divers has joined with the Cascades to offer you an unbelievably affordable package for those who want to stay in comfort and style while experiencing the wonders of the underwater world of the Red Sea.

Explore unknown wrecks with Emperor’s NEW Tek diving safaris

You can now book onto several new 7-day liveaboard safaris, giving the perfect opportunity to discover and explore some unknown wrecks and reefs of the Red Sea.

Leaving from Sharm El Sheikh, the week is spent diving on unspoiled deep wrecks around the Straits of Gubal, breath-taking drop-offs in the Ras Mohammed Marine Park and long penetration dives on world-class wrecks like the Thistlegorm or the Rosalie Moller. Night dives are also a great opportunity to discover surprising wrecks in shallower depths.

Important Note: This trip is only open to certified and experienced Tek divers as some dive sites are deep and beyond the capabilities and range of the recreational diver. It is designed to fulfil the needs of Extended Range and Trimix divers, using open circuit scuba or rebreather.
