Please contact: [email protected] After two years of restrictions due to the Covid Pandemic, SCUBA Diver Magazine and their associates took a big leap of faith to put this Dive Show together. A massive thank you and well done goes out to Mark Evans and his team of Go Diveshow Organisers. Some of the big names that usually Exhibit were missing, and others were slow enrolling, us being one of them, although we were waiting for The Egyptian Tourist Board to make a decision of showing or not. Once we had that answer which was late in the day, we decided to take a stand of our own. Being quite tentative ourselves, we just took a small stand with just Moyra and myself planning to man it. However we had a few offers of help which in the end we were very grateful for. Our good friend and loyal diver Ian Cripps came to help and an awesome job he did telling the people who stopped at our stand about the amazing diving he's had over the years diving with Elite in Sharm. What ever Moyra and I said about our operation and our amazing staff, couldn't top what an actual client of ours was telling people. First hand experience and recommendation is the best form of publicity. The Show exceeded all expectations. Even the organisers were pleasantly surprised by the turn out. Apart from the tickets that were presold to enter the show, there were far more than anticipated who turned up on the day and paid at the door. Some guest speakers drew some good crowds to their presentations but we were too busy talking to people that were looking for diving in Sharm to go and sit to listen to any presentation that was going on. We were even too busy to take any further photos after the show started!! We were very pleased with the response from the Diving Public and many have already booked with us to dive in Sharm over the coming months. This Years Go Dive Prize draw Winner is Nigel Troth from Southport. Nigel is a very keen diver and St Helens Rugby Supporter. You can see him above holding a porthole which was acquired off the wreck of The Englishman.
Nigel has dived in Sharm many times previously, however, it will be the first time with Elite Diving. We look forward to giving him and his buddy a warm welcome into the Elite Family. Congratulations Nigel. Bookings are coming in thick and fast. If you're thinking of joining us to dive, please let us know so we can manage our diary and so we can plan to give everyone the service we are well known for. It's great to see people's enthusiasm to get back diving in Sharm. Contact : [email protected] with any enquiries. NAEC Stoneleigh has been announced as the new venue for the underwater exhibition Go Diving.

Hosting by Andy Torbet, our 2022 event will see the return of Steve Backshall, Monty Halls, Alex Mustard and a host of other local diving hero's to talk about all things diving. The show moves to a new venue at NAEC Stoneleigh, just 10 miles from its previous venue. The new space offers more exhibition space across 2 purpose-built halls, with 19,000 free parking spaces, better facilities, and no clash with rugby events. The premier event in the UK diving calendar will take place at the venue on 4-6 March 2022. The Go Diving Show is an exciting and interactive, trade and consumer, scuba diving exhibition, which allows seasoned divers, novice open water divers and even those interested in taking their first steps into the sport, the opportunity to get hand’s-on. Showcasing new equipment from the major brands, visitors can take part in skills workshops, attend keynote presentations, venture beneath the sea on virtual reality dives, or just socialise with fellow divers in a relaxed and friendly environment. Hosted for the third year in succession by adventurer and technical diver Andy Torbet, the 2022 show will see the return of headline speaker Steve Backshall, along with the likes of Monty Halls, Alex Mustard and a whole host of specialists in the arenas of technical diving, dive training and underwater photography. Lynn Gardener, Account Director at NAEC Stoneleigh, said: “It is always exciting when we get to host an exhibition for the first time and Go Diving was the perfect fit, our halls can easily offer the space the event requires for their interactive displays and pools, where visitors can have a go at diving themselves.” To find out more information about NAEC Stoneleigh, visit www.naecstoneleigh.co.uk or search for NAEC Stoneleigh on social media.

Contact: [email protected] Yet again, our loyal divers and friends have put us on top of the world. We are so humbled by the continued support that we get from people voting for us.
I was contacted by a few people who had said they had voted for us again and those people hadn't dived with us for over ten years, sometime due to their change in life such as starting a family to not being able to come with a direct flight. Those people said that they had voted for us as they haven't found any other dive center that has delivered to same level of care and service that our team supplies. So not only must I thank our loyal divers for the votes they have given us, but also our amazing team from the ground staff who fills the cylinders and delivers them and the kit down to the boat and back each day, the office staff that controls the paperwork and bookings with such prompt and thorough answers to the inquiries we get, the boat crew with Captain Yahia and Zenger who makes sure all our divers enjoy their day on our boat, and also our amazing dive team of dedicated Dive Instructors that love what they do so much, they come diving on their days off on many occasions.
