We are entering the last few days and with a final push we could make top spot.

We are humbled again by the amount of support our divers have given us to get us near the top again. It was in 2013, 2014 and 2015 that we came top dive center in the world in the Sport Diver Awards. It would be amazing to do it again in The DIVE Travel Awards also. 

We understand that most of us have a busy life and that important issues come first, however, we are still touched deeply by the enthusiasm that our divers show when voting for us. Many of you haven't dived with us for years, but still hold us in high esteem.

So if any of you haven't had the time to vote yet, but still would like to help us reach the top. Please vote now. Don't put it off. There is little time left.

After you vote, you'll need to visit your email account that you detailed when voting to verify your vote.

You will get subscribed to Dive Travel Magazine which is a great source of information for different Dive destinations around the world. However, you can unsubscribe easily if you want.

If you want to vote for us, please do it now and press the following l.ink. Don't forget to visit your email account to verify the vote. Many thanks. VOTE

We are relying heavily on you, our loyal divers to get us noticed again this year.
There is a slightly different system for 2021, there is no preliminary vote, so it's straight to the final vote. 

You can only have one vote per email you hold. 

Many of you I know have voted already, we can see that as we are on the list as the second best Red Sea Dive Center, although we are quite low down the list compared to previous years.

We've been voted best Red Sea Dive Center for the last three years, so we would like to obtain that mantle once again. Especially as this year we are going to need to build again after the dreadful year and a half we have had.

Many people have told us in previous years that they intended to vote at some point but didn't get around to it. Your vote is so important to us. We are going to need every single vote we can to push up the list to be the top Red Sea Center so please vote now.

​We thank you in advance for your continued support.

Hopefully divers can start to move more freely without restrictions.

We have had a few false starts and other short periods, when direct flights have come to Sharm from The UK, but nothing sustained. It looks as if that is now over but we are still cautious not to get too excited in case it's taken from us once again.

The skeleton staff lead admirably by G&V has been so faithful during this very quiet time.
G, V, Hoss and a few freelance Instructors have been keeping the dive center open for people who have been able to make it over to Sharm to dive. Angie has been backing them up with administration support and the boat crew although they have been working looking after small numbers that share with us from other dive centers, are looking to see our usual Elite Diving guests back in numbers on our boat, like us all.

Moyra and myself flew back to Sharm on Monday 27th September, in preparation for a much busier time.  Some of you will see Moyra in a different light as she has gone natural with her hair colour, so don't think I've gone and swapped her!!!

First thing Moy and I did on our return was take a daytrip out on our boat. We had six divers on there and 4 sharing form another center, so a nice little atmosphere on board. The highlight of the day though was as most people say "The Boat Food"

It was so relaxing on the boat, even Captain yahia took time out to sit with us as did G&V.

​We have been inundated with bookings for the coming weeks, so anyone that's coming, please let us know early, so we can prepare for the onslaught in plenty of time. 

​We are looking forward to seeing you all out in Sharm diving with us soon.

Captain Yahia, Zenger and Ahmed our new chef is also waiting eagerly to welcoming you back.

Please contact info@elite-diving.com and give us plenty of notice if your coming.

We at Elite Diving can't wait to welcome all our divers back. Hope is in the air.
​Can anyone name all the locations in this video?

Bookings are coming in thick and fast so let us know early when your coming as we need to plan and organise. See you all very soon.

We are starting to see light at the end of the tunel. 
Covid has hit world travel let alone Dive Travel, and so much more, but we feel we can see an end to it especialy with The UK vaccination programe ahead of the game.

All our staff are now vaccinated against covid also.

There have been a few Iconic dive centers calling it a day in Sharm. Big names such as Sinai Divers, Vern Lau and Ocean College. Even Camel and Red Sea College have had their doors closed for over a year. 

At Elite Diving, our awesome and dedicated staff kept available to take anyone who could get here, out to dive. They took massive pay cuts but still gave their all with the small number fo people who we had coming through our doors just so they could offer their services to people who made the effort to get here. It's not easy we know. I just hope people appreciate the effort our staff have made to be here for people. Our company would not have survived without their dedication and loyalty during this horendous situation. 

We've had a few divers from UK when they were allowed to travel from Last July and also many expats who live in Sharm who has supported us most weekends. We also have people who live and work in Cairo that come down to Sharm for a long weekend diving now and again.

With our boat and boat crew being so popular with everyone, we've also had many other dive centers with their one or two guests that come on our boat and rent space for their guests. All this has helped to keep us afloat (padron the pun)

With flights looking as they are going to start back flying regularly again from the end of May from UK, we are anticipating the UK Government to allow non esential travel during the Summer. Easy Jet are already flying here from Milan.

Elite is Back on the water.
After six weeks in Dry Dock having it's annual maintenence and make over, Elite is now afloat again. It will take a day or two to get it checked out for sea worthyness before leaving the dock at El Tur up in the Gulf of Suez and make the 130 KM journey back to Sharm, where all the team eagerly await it's return along with her Crew of Capten Yahia, Zenger and Ahmed.

Elite looks much bigger when it's out of the water although it's 22 meter length and 5 meter beam gives it much stability when in the water.

The timbers are take off to inspect the hull and any timber that needs to be is replaced. It's amazing watching the craftsmen form the hull from pices of timber that are re-placed. The skills and craftermanship has been handed down through generations and started when their forefathers were building and repairing their fishing vesels. Now it's for the recreational diving industry.

This year it has changed. Either us or our friends from other dive centers have been seeing whale sharks consistently every week throughout the winter this year, and they are not the same one, as there have been a variety of sizes spotted.

Whether they have changed their migratory pasterns (which we doubt very much) or maybe they are staying around Sharm for longer periods due to the reduction of pollution from boats in the area during the very quiet Covid period, making the feeding so much better, or perhaps it just falls on a rotation pattern of areas they choose from time to time, we just can't say, but they are a very welcome sight to see so regularly. Long may it Continue.
