It's everyone's bucket list encounter; swimming with wild dolphins. And it happens more often than you might think with Emperor Divers Red Sea.

Most weeks our safari boats in the North and South manage to see these beautiful animals in their natural environment. Just the other week on Emperor Superior guest Aofie talked to our guide, Roberto, what it was like for her - and we have a few dolphins to show you too!

» This way for the dolphins!

Recently we told you about the sighting from Emperor Orion in Huvadhoo Atoll of a ‘new’ whale shark and have been working with the Maldives Whale Shark Project team to get the identity of her and to give her a name.

Result! She is now called Dhahi, meaning ‘glutton’. This is the fourth time she has been sighted; the first in 2015 then 2016, 2017 and from Emperor Orion this year. The interesting thing is that every time, she has been sighted in the same spot at Huvadhoo Atoll in February or March.

Emperor boats, especially Emperor Orion and Emperor Serenity, help Maldives Whale Shark Project a lot with their research to help identify them. Some whale sharks have been sighted more than 100 times.

Thanks to Emperor dive guide, Gabriel, for the fabulous video.

Don't just take our word about the delights of Emperor Echo. 

Over to Julie Despaties and her 5 Star Service Feefo feedback …

“Epic first liveaboard experience. This was our first time ever doing a liveaboard! We are over the moon with the experience, the crew was terrific, really we couldn’t have had better service...the food was great!

And our instructor, Hany, truly helped us become better divers throughout our Advance open water certification! We had amazing dives (and lots of work!) but we are so very grateful.

And the boat was wonderful! The company was also amazing; we connected with so many fabulous divers...it was truly epic! We had no expectation coming in but Emperor Echo has now set the bar very high for our next liveaboard! Thank you."

We have great news!
Our dive centre has reopened in the iconic Red Sea dive
capital of Sharm El Sheikh.

Located directly in Naama Bay, we’re close to the jetty and ready to take you to dive incredible sites such as Tiran and Ras Mohamed.

“Sharm diving is at its absolute best for decades as dive sites have had a few years to recover from the crowds. Stunning hard and soft corals and amazing marine life encounters abound in some of the clearest waters the Red Sea has to offer,” says General Manager, Luke Atkinson. “The fish schooling event of Ras Mohamed in summer is truly world class and the chance to experience it with diver numbers similar to the 1990s should not be missed.”

As we are sharing with the Werner Lau/Sinai Divers centre in Helnan Marina Hotel, our guests will have access to a great house reef in Naama Bay and top class facilities as well as being close to a range of hotels for convenience. Divers’ favourite boats, Emperor Shorouk and Emperor Marcus, will be running regularly to the amazing local sites and, of course, to Ras Mohamed and Tiran. Our small instructor team will be headed up by the familiar face of Elise, an Emperor Sharm legend.

Direct flights to Sharm come from Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Austria with carriers such as TUIfly, FTI and Germania. Indirect flights via Istanbul with Pegasus and Turkish airlines are excellent for divers due to a generous baggage allowance, which is also the case with Egyptair via Cairo.

Make 2018 the year for you to come and dive in Sharm with Emperor; trust us, it will be the best decision you make!
