Our Divers once again has nominated us for DIVE Travel Awards and again we have made the final vote. If you want us to do well in the final vote, please vote for Elite Diving now. You can only vote once per e.mail address. Just follow the instructions on the following link. You need only vote for elite in the Dive Center/Resort category. You need not vote for anyone else if you don't want to. 

After our success in these awards last year, there are a few Sharm Dive Centers now canvasing their divers to vote for them. We are confident that our ever loyal divers will out perform these dive centers as usual, but we will need each and every one of you to help.

Underwater photography Instructor Mark Le Gros (AKA Mr Lucky Lucky, Le Groan and 20 20) shares more of his photos with us.

​Christmas tree worm (Spirobranchus giganteus)

Lives in (calcareous) tubes embedded in living corals.

Tricky to photograph because as soon you line up your shot they sense your presence and disappear into their hole, really frustrating, but that's half the fun!

​Chestnut blenny (Cirripectes castaneus) 
They are very shy and rapidly retreat to shelter when approached, making them very tricky to photograph, but with a bit of patience and perseverance.
The colours are variable from very dark brown to very pale. 
We see them frequently on the reef fringes around Sharm, depth from 0.3 to 7m.
They feed mainly on algae. — in Sharm el-Sheikh.

Taken on a night dive on El Fanar, one of the best sites in Sharm el Sheikh for night dives accessible from the shore.
If you get the opportunity to do a night dive you won't be disappointed you get to see a lot of creatures that sleep during the day, AMAZING!!
