Fantastic Experience

Hi Alun, 

I just want to say a big thank you to all at Elite for making my first venture into diving in the red sea a fantastic experience. 

As I travelled with a group who had previously dived with Elite I had been assured I would have great time and it surpassed all my expectations. 

The excellent accomodation, the professionalism of the Elite staff and the boat crew's,combined with the very friendly family atmosphere that was always evident(both on the boat and in the bar!) made for a really enjoyable experience that,unfortunately was over all too quickly. 

You guys definately go that extra mile...I'll be back!

Hi Alun, Moyra and all at Elite,

I am writing this as the rain beats down and I have a weekend break from the training schedule. On behalf of Sue, myself, Grahame, Laura and Paul, just a huge thank you for making our March trip as memorable as usual. Again, and you must love me for this, our group, though smaller than previous trips contained divers of huge varying degrees of expertise. 

Again you treated us all with kindness, respect, and catered for us impeccably. For those that hadnt dived the Red Sea before, it blew them away. The experience was varied, sometimes testing for them, but always smile generating. For those that had dived with you before, maybe a risk of becoming bored with the same sites etc. No way!! The sites that you choose, and the way they are dived, never ceases to amaze, and every second is enjoyable. 

To Alun and Moyra, thank you for operating a centre that makes your guests feel like friends, not just a revenue generator. 

To Karen and Alec, thanks guys for making our experience with you so enjoyable. To all the back room boys, thank you for helping to make it all work. So to you all, thank you, and we all hope you have a great season, enjoy the sun and warmth, because its cold and piddling down here. Will we be back, you bet. 

See you at birmingham or maybe even sooner. 

Best regards 
Steve, Sue and all.

Hi Alun
Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed diving with Elite diving, on my recent trip to Sharm.

The whole experiance was professional and well organized, the dive guides well informed and eager to please. Jacksons reef and the Thistlegorm where both outstanding in their own right.

Please extend my thanks to your whole team for making my red sea diving enjoyable and stress free.

I look forward to diving with you in the future.

Regards
Chris Clennell

Dear Alun and Moyra, 
Thank you so much for an amazing week. It was only mentioned once or twice but I can vouch that you really are the 'Best Red Sea Dive Centre in Sharm' and I would never dream of booking with anyone else.

A couple of special mentions need to go to Jennie for being so patient during the refresher (Andi's still having visions of her signing 'think' at him constantly!), Karen for a truly awesome day of diving last Tuesday and Alec for the banter throughout the week and somehow persuading me to do a Nitrox course!

Everyone from Elite are so welcoming and the crew onboard the Lido are great fun. It's great that diving with you isn't just a day on the boat, it's also about the social aspect whether that's a drink at the Stella Bar or Sunday lunch at the Tavern. 

I've definitely got the post-holiday blues now so I'm currently browsing flights to Sharm! I'll be back...
Lots of Love to you all,
Nat. xxx

Hi Alun and Moyra,
Thanks for a great weeks diving once again. The boat full of really nice people and hopefully we will meet and dive with again, also always enjoy diving with your dive instructors, who make the days diving easy.

The evening therapy sessions at the stella bar with everyone was great fun.

I've seen Graham the other day, he really enjoyed doing the open water course with you so I think you might see him again without any doubt.

Hoping to get back out later in the year, maybe with a few others I'll work on it.

See you soon
Kev and Jayne.

Hi Alun, Moyra, Paul, Alec, Karen and Duncan,

Having flown back from Sharm to Luton last night I just wanted to let you know what an excellent holiday I had, and how I have never experienced before such an organised and professional dive company.

Having flown in at 18:30 all my kit was collected from my room by Ahmed and my dive box made ready for a prompt 07:55 departure the following morning. The boat must have left the jetty at ~ 08:45 and we were in the water by 09:45. Other dive companies I have been with may not even open until 09:30!!

Every day someone managed to group together parties of similar experience/buoyancy control and Nitrox usage and put us all together. Also part of the equation was to prevent the same people going to the same dive sites yet again (unless they requested it) and for all variety was the spice of life.

I pre-paid the diving and B&B option to was very pleasantly surprised to learn of the relatively small cost of all the third dives I did and multiple entries into Ras Mohammed National Park. You even managed to negate the cost of the day’s boat trip to Thistlegorn which I could not go on for medical reasons! Whilst some have given Coral Hills a bad review I would have no objections to staying there again.So finally, yet again, a really big collective thank you to you all and an assurance that you will be seeing me again in October.

Fond regards,

Dr Julian Hopkins
