Hi Moyra, Alun and all at Elite team. Firstly I must apologise for the late dispatch of this e mail after diving with you in Sharm, it has been very busy here since my return, with being back at work straight away, and the start of a fresh open water course with 6 students. Following last year’s experience with you in Sharm, I was very keen to organise this year’s group trip again, and a very wise decision it was. Not only did we return with great memories of yet another great visit, I have a qualified open water partner, who is so excited about being qualified and having experienced the Red Sea in all its glory, she wants to dive at every opportunity. This is such a transformation, from someone who was very apprehensive about the whole process last October in Portugal, to now being quite relaxed and at reasonable ease with the water. To you all, I thank you whole heartedly for the friendly, personal service that you extended to us. It is that sort of service that makes you stand head and shoulders above the rest, and will contribute to your continuing success. Our group thanks to all that guided us during our stay, and your choice of dive sites, the feedback that I have received reflects that they were well up to expectation, and absolutely no disappointments at all. Our thanks also to the guides, for allowing some slack to those who first proved their competence and wanted some freedom from the group. Finally my personal thanks to you, for allowing me the support to help get Sue qualified during our visit. So to Mo, Alex, Kevin, Alun and yourself Moyra, and all the support lads, thank you so very much. Now the bad news, WERE COMING BACK, just when you thought you have got rid of us, were coming back, the probable dates 08th to 15th November, but we will confirm that soon. Thanks very much, and I will speak to you soon. Best regards. Steve and Sue The Diving Bug I meant to write to you on our return from Sharm, but you know what its like.... getting back to "normal" - its so time-consuming. I just wanted to send you a quick line to say thanks for sorting out my diving in Sharm and could you please pass on a big thanks to Kevin for looking after me. It must be a pain looking after rookies, but Kevin was brilliant and I learnt loads while I was there and had a great time. I'm definately smitten with the diving bug now - next trip is sunday with CSAC in Lyme bay - it'll be a little different to Sharm... but looking forward to it all the same. Thanks again and hope to see you again soon. Cheers Andy and Jan Great diving experience!
Thanks for a great diving experience in Sharm El Sheikh, I found diving with your company a real pleasure, everything was well organised and run efficiently, but still very friendly. Can you pass on my thanks to Kevin and Alex for their assistance, the trip to the blue hole was a very memorable birthday experience that I will cherish for a long time. Regards Mark Griffiths.

Hi Moyra Alun,
Had a great time with yourselfs cant wait to come back , both myself and chris will be back asap, looks like october please say hello to everyone for us, we have still go the holiday blues . Regards Graham Hi Alun
It's very rare that I put 'pen to paper' or 'finger to keyboard'. On this occasion, however, I feel on this occasion you all deserve it. I have just returned from a week at Sharm el Sheikh and booked the diving with Elite Diving. I would just like to say how impressed I was with your team and the high standard of the boats and crew, nobody could have been more helpful at the dive centre (Charlie) and nothing was too much trouble. A special mention must go to our dive guide (Neal). With his vast knowledge of the area including history and topography and above all his professionalism he was second to none, he is a credit to your company. Many thanks for a marvellous weeks diving and be assured that I and the other 2 divers in the party will not hesitate to use or recommend Elite diving in the future. Look forward to seeing and diving with you again soon. Kind Regards Boyd Davies Dear Moyra and Alun You never cease to please! A great weeks diving in Sharm El Sheikh and FUN as well! Thanks again and I am already looking forward to when we come back again. Chrissie hasn't stopped talking about it - thanks for taking such good care of her. As I have said before - "Diving with Friends!" Best wishes Glen Middleton On Sea Hi Al and Moyra, My name is Rodger Chen and I have recently finished a diving holiday with Divers United in Sharm El Sheikh last week, and I am just writting to say that I had a wonderful experience diving with you. Neal was an awesome instructor and diving the Thistlegorm was better than I had ever imagined. I look forward to coming back to sharm in the near future to dive with you guys again. Kind Regards, Rodger Chen Arlington, USA. Fantastic Week of Diving in Sharm El Sheikh

Hi Alun, Moyra, Neal, Charlie and all the staff at Elite Sadly we are now back in Blighty, where the temperature was a cool 2 degrees when we landed at 11pm Sunday night. By this morning I swear the temperature was below freezing - the cars were all covered in a very severe frost! Typical Brits - always talking about the weather but what I really wanted to say on behalf of myself, Ali, Alex and Matt was a huge 'Thank You', particularly to Neal, for taking such good care of us while we stayed in Sharm last week, learning to dive. From Alistair's first contact with you I know he had a good feeling about your operation and we were not at all disappointed. We were a little concerned that we might have been trying to be too ambitious doing all the theory out in Sharm but it was great that we had the same dive instructor for both the practical and theory. Neal was very patient, thorough and clear in his explanations and managed the mixed abilities (well - the boys and Mum!) extremely well. We have the bug! It's just unfortunate that we are in the wrong country to indulge our new found passion a little more - but we'll be back! In the meantime, we are playing a new game of charades - 'guess what fish I saw?' and Alistair ALWAYS does a 'grouper' - do men ever grow up??!!!! Attached are a couple of photos - at least the boys look the part while I look as if I was just enjoying myself (which of course I was !) Wishing you continued success in your wonderful lifestyle Many thanks Stella. Alistair, Alexander and Matthew Currie Stella Currie Bramhall Cheshire Unforgetable Diving!“Thank you for an unforgettable week’s diving in Sharm El Sheikh! I can’t praise highly enough the professional yet personal touch of your whole organisation, from your friendly and helpful staff, patient and knowledgeable guides, and best of all, the awesome away days to the Thistlegorm and Dahab. I have no hesitation in recommending you guys to every diver I know – your joy and enthusiasm for diving will live with me forever.” David Thomas Cardiff Dear Alun and Moyra,
You have made our time diving in Sharm El Sheikh very special, you and your team are very professional and provided a service which met our needs and requirements, this made our holiday all the more relaxing and enjoyable with the benefit of achieving a fantastic time of thrill and adventure. We knew we could rely on the Count (Alin) to provide us with some awesome dives, namely the Thistlegorm, you made our dream come true, so much to see, so little time to take it all in, hence we need to return to the Thistlegorm. Alun you gave us access to the best diving South Sinai has to offer within the Sharm El Sheikh region and we thank you. We still remember the Pinnacles which are like a mini Universe of sea-life, the old male Moray Eel with a cut throat and not forgetting the legless Octopus. Then there is the sea-life in miniature and the patience of watching a tube worm slowly unfold itself, how could we know this side of the Red Sea without you. These are the personal touches which mean so much to us. On our very last dive the Count came through with the Eagle Ray which we followed on the drift, truely an awesome moment! Can't wait for the next time, Roy and Nicky Hi Alun Thanks again for a great weeks diving. Have attached a couple of photos that I took that you may like Steve. Sutton Coldfeild. Moyra and Alun, Many apologies for not e mailing sooner to say thank you again for a wonderful few days at the start of June, which now seems centuries away. We had the best time, you did exactly what it said on the tin and then some, your diving was second to none, and that includes Antigua. Your attention to detail and personal care (at a still sensible price) makes the world of difference and your team are all equally great, the boys on the boat couldn’t have been better and the standard of the lunches they provided was impressive. Divers of all standards are equally at home diving with you, and many return regularly , as shown by our boat companions . Thank you for some really great diving, especially the Manta which the wonderful Count saved until the very last dive, you were great company and we will be back just as soon as we can. Best Margaret and Rodney Hi Alun and Moyra,
Janice and I would like to offer our congratulations to you for the way you operate your dive business in Sharm. A big thank you to you Moyra, for answering my barrage of questions before we came. I was obviously worrying for nothing. As you know, we used to dive with one of the large British owned companies in Sharm and we were happy with the service they gave. They were professional and safety minded which is very important to us. If it wasn’t for the fact our friends Pete and Melissa had already booked with you, we would have gone back to what we already knew to be good. After diving with you guys, we’ll be using you from now on. You make evryone feel important, in a very genuine way, and the friendly laid back attitude makes for a much better dive experience. Please pass our thanks on to Mark, as we enjoyed his enthusiasm about diving almost as much as the dives themselves. You sure have a great team there, it’s obvious you all bond together and enjoy working together. Long may it continue. Thanks again and see you soon Richard and Janice. Bournemouth Amazing diving Dear Moyra, Please can you forward this on to my instructor Neil. I just wanted to thank you both for making my childhood dream come true. I had a truly amazing 3 days diving with you guys. Thank you Moyra for not making me feel like a prat with all my worries and concerns before I came out, and thank you Neal for being so patient and showing me things I never thought I would, (including how to pack my box!)and a whale shark on my first ever sea dive, whaw! I will be back as soon as is possible to Sharm El Sheikh, this time without kids and ready to do my advanced open water. So thank you again. Nikki from Brighton. x British Armed Forces Recommend Elite DivingHello Alun,
It was a fantastic holiday, and all the lads are still gobbing off about it to the other lads in the Squadron. It was definitely worth the wait and the hassle of organising. You, Mark and your team should take a lot of credit for the exped. Making it so easy for us just to ruck up and play. Keeping our kit clean, transporting us everywhere, pointing us in the right direction straight from the start. The whole service Elite Diving provided was top class. Most important of all the relaxed and fun attitude you had towards us, fitted in with our ethos and how we like to roll! You can rest assured that your name and company will be the first choice for any more future visits to Sharm both within my Squadron and my family. I hope you continue to enjoy what you do for a long long time. Stay safe Big lad Kind regards Sgt' Chilli Palmer Help through PADI dive training in Sharm Alun and Moyra Just a quick note to say a big thanks for the diving last week. It was fantastic to be back underwater after such a long time - and in such a beautiful place. The Elite Diving team made the whole week very enjoyable - always someone on hand to help out. Especially - please pass thanks to Francesca for helping Lucy complete her PADI Diver training; she did a great job. Unfortunately, my photography skills weren't quite up to the mark, but I've attached a couple of shots that you might be interested in - a couple from the Sharks Bay night dive and one of Lucy looking pretty relaxed hanging off a coral wall. Cheers, Mike Wagland. West Sussex. Helpfull staff diving Hi Alun & Moyra, A quick note to say thank for a fantastic week. We had great time diving with you in Sharm El Sheikh, the diving was awesome and the guides are brilliant (say thanks to Alin and Mark from us). The boats were super and the staff were all so helpful, we really felt spoiled. As working Instructors and divemasters ourselves, we really appreciated the professionalism yet friendly atmosphere you and your whole team create. The whole thing couldn't have been better. We'll certainly be back, and I'll be recommending elite to anyone I here going to the Red Sea. Once again guys, thanks a million Regards Gordon & Miranda. Co Wicklow. Ireland. Superb Diving set up in Sharm El Sheikh
Hi Alun & Moyra, Just wanted to say again how much I enjoyed the week with you guys. Me and Will had a great time. Diving was excellent and the way the set up is run is superb. I particularly appreciated Aluns common sense approach to the dives, thanks. Great sense of humour Alun, I know Will approved of you taking the Pi** at every opportunity..:) We're back to the rain again in not so sunny Sunderland..:( Best wishes to Mark..great enthusiasm. Hope to dive with you again back in Sharm El Sheikh. Cheers. Mick. :) Answer from Alun. Hi guys, Thanks for the positive feed back. It was good fun all week. It was also very easy to tease Will, he just left himself wide open for it all the time. What a good sport though. As we say on the boat. Abuse if free, compliments are an extra charge!!!!! Dive safe, and may you have as many ascents as descents Dear Alun, Moyra and team, We got back safely and arrived home early last Friday morning and have spent the week coming back down to earth with a bump after our fantastic holiday. We had a wonderful time and you all made the experience all the more enjoyable. Our experience with Elite exceeded all expectations and when we’re out in Sharm El Sheikh again you’ll be our first call (pub quizzes included!) Thank you for all your help, both before we arrived, and during our stay. Hope all went well at the Dive Show, and hope to see you all again. Jen & Ryan. Edinburgh Safe Diving In Sharm El Sheikh
Hi Alun and Moyra. The dust has settled, the weather is crap and its back to work, and diving in Sharm El Sheikh is now just a memory. But wow, what a memory. I would, on behalf of us all, like to sincerely thank you for the week that we had with you. It was fantastic. We said it on the day, and I feel I must repeat myself, your attention to detail, very good organisation, very good guides, particular thanks to Alin the Count, and Shaban, and most importantly your personability, made the time an absolute joy. We will have absolutely no hesitation in coming back to yourselves in the future, sooner the better. I will see you in Birmingham in October, until then, look after yourselves, and safe diving. Best wishes and thank you. Steve Raines and co. |
