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! Albert Tatlock (AKA Paul Edwards) Northwich 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. "A new member of the ice-diving club". 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. " P.S. Hope you still got some branston pickle left that was a mighty big jar" 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.

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

Best Dive Centre In Sharm Red Sea
Dear All, I just wanted to thank you in the name of the entire Romanian group for the wonderful time spent together. There was 5 great days of diving with the most professional and best dive center I ever met in Sharm and The Red Sea. For sure we will come back for more dives with you guys. Here is the link to a short report on our trip, but it's in Romanian. http://www.scubaboard.ro/forum/showthread.php/3687-Excursie-scufundari-20-27-Martie-2012-Sharm-El-Sheikh?p=54419#post54419 Thank you again ! Daniel Triff. Hi Alun,
I just wanted to drop you note to say how much I enjoyed my week diving in Sharm El Sheikh with you guys. Alec, Ash, Paul and all the guys at Elite were great. The diving, in particular the Thistlegorm, was awesome. The Cairo trip was also really well put together, and our guide, Sherieff, made the day, so please pass on my regards to the relevant parties for that. Hopefully I'll be back out there before long. Thanks Darren White. Hi Alun,

A special thanks to Alun for the help and guidance he gave my wife, after being very nervous, she now wants to return to the red sea later this year for more diving, so we will contact you when we decide when that will be. I will definitely recommend you to all the other divers I know. Cheers. Dennis Fisk Dear Moyra and Alun,
We wanted to express our thanks for a great festive dive experience with yourselves. Our dive Holiday could not have been any better. Excellent boat, dive planning, great staff all combined to provide fun and quality safe diving experience with yourselves. Would we book and reccomend "Elite diving" ? 100% yes. Looking forward to our next dive holiday with you all very soon. Happy New Year, Lisa & Mandy. xxxx Dear Moyra Just wanted to say what a great time I had when I joined Rosy on her dive prize from Diver magazine. No wonder they chose you as the prize. Your guides were so helpful to this very nervous diver and I had the most amazing time. Particular thanks to Alec and Karen, they made it great fun. Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and New Year, and hope to dive with you again next year. Best wishes Christine Dear Moyra and Alun, A big thank you to all your team at elite diving for making Christine and my week such great fun. We will certainly be returning to dive with you in the future. A special thank you to Alec for making the week so enjoyable. If anyone asks us who to dive with in Sharm el Shiek we wont hesitate to recommend you. All the best for Christmas and the New Year. Rosy Hardy Fantastic Diving
Hi to you both and all at Elite Diving and a very Merry Christmas. As usual a late reply, but a huge thank you from us all for the fantastic care and hospitality that was given to us. Your customer care never drops, and your attention to giving the guest choice over what they do was great. I appreciate that our group had a huge range of experience, from recent open water/ advanced diver to staff instructor, which must provide some logistical headaches, but everyone was catered for without exception. Fantastic and a credit to you all. Many thanks go out to Alex and Karen for their care and guidance, and to all the support lads. Thank you all. Now the bad news, we are coming BACK!!!!!!!!! Yes, I am putting together a march visit. The dates I can confirm will be Thursday 22nd March for 7 days. The size of group is uncertain at the moment, but if everyone converts from thoughts to actions we will be about 10. Have a great Christmas and a very happy New Year. We will see you in March, but will keep you updated as things develop. All the very best. Steve Raines Hi Al & Moy, Just a few words to say thanks for a great weeks diving on the boat in Sharm El Sheikh with you all, we really enjoyed some superb dives as normal. Also some great hospitality up the Stella bar and nice to see Alex back in team again. Thanks again. See you in 2012. Kevin & Jayne Hiya Al and Moyra,
Just a line to say thank you very much for the great week we have just had with you in Sharm. As always we had a great time that was made much better by the great diving days and your company in the stella bar, making us feel very welcome. Thank you very much. Cheers Will and Vicki PS Moy I have just got off the phone to Sharyn who studied with you at Newpor University and she sends her love!! Dear Alun and Moyra,
Just like to thank you both (and all of the team) for such a wonderful holiday diving in Sharm El Sheikh with you - it was an 'out-of-this-world' experience - fantastic diving - fantastic organisation - fantastic company (day and night....!). WE WILL BE BACK......... Martin & Phil x x Just a quick note to thank you for a great few weeks diving in Sharm El Sheikh. Elite may be regarded as a small company, but they are a company with a big heart, run by its owners, who give a personal service, which is second to none.
Having previously dived on numerous occasions with other major dive operators in Sharm, we took the recommendation of friends and decided to give Elite diving a try. I must say that we couldn’t have made a better decision. We found that diving with Elite is much more relaxed, we never felt hurried or pressurised into rushing to kit up before the dive, the atmosphere on the dive boats was amazing, it was fun, fun fun, extremely friendly, with the dive instructors/guides mixing freely with the divers, friendly banter was encouraged, and readily exchanged. Strangers weren’t strangers for long, and I am sure that we will dive with many of the people we met on the dive boat again, as several people on our boat were returnees and had been diving with Elite for many years. The relaxed atmosphere on the boat led to more relaxed diving,. The dive guides were extremely knowledgeable and although we dived sites that we had dived before, they did vary some of the dive routes from the norm, and actively tried to find the bigger fish in known (to Elite) hotspots, which did lead to more exiting dives. On our very first dive we saw a big Moray, a Turtle, a Leopard Ray and 2 white tip reef sharks, what a dive. The boat crew were second to none and they couldn’t help enough. Alun and his wife Moyra also arranged social gatherings in the evenings so the family spirit shared on the boat didn’t stop at the end of the days diving, but spilt over into the evening. All in all Alun and Moyra, manage both their dive boats and business to a high standard, and gave us a higher quality of service than we had experienced with the other dive operators that we have previously used, which led to a far more pleasurable diving holiday. Once again many thanks, and we look forward to meeting up again at Christmas. Gary and Lezley Now safely home from diving in Sharm and just wanted to say thanks so much for a fantastic week's diving - sharks, turtles, eagle ray, torpedo rays etc etc. Shark Reef unbelievable, Thistlegorm so much better than I remember, everywhere just great - I am going to bore them at work next week SO much! Thanks to everyone in the group (including the "critter hunter"!) but special thanks to Moyra, Alun and Alec - diving with you guys just gets better! Anyone not diving with you in Sharm is really missing the BEST and the ELITE! See you soon (November?) Best regards Glen Thanks again for such well organised diving in Sharm. It was up to the usual high standard, and we are still smiling at all the laughs we on the boat and at the social evenings we spent together.
Your staff fit in so well with the standard you have set over the five years we have been returning to dive with you. It was nice to see Alec back in the fold, enjoying the diving. We recommend your dive centre to everyone we know who comes to Sharm, and that will still be the case after such another marvellous diving holiday with you and your team. You’re like a bottle of vintage wine Alun, getting better as you mature! (I’m sure you’ll get me back for that. HA HA). Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s a winning combination. See you next year (or sooner). Pat and George. Cheltenham. |
