Blog – February 2010

Camel Bar will be closed for renovation starting on 20 February. Sharm’s most famous bar will be extended outside, and completely remodeled inside. During the renovation, we’ll run a reduced schedule of live sports games via satellite, on the Terrace. Both the Terrace and Roof will continue to operate normally, with a full dinner and drinks menu. So if you’re in Sharm on 19 February, join us for live music from Screwdriver and our last big party before the launch of the new, more spacious Camel Bar in a few weeks' time.

Our instructor Beth was rewarded for waking up early on her day off, when she joined our trip to Dunraven on 12 February. Beth was diving above the group at about six metres, having just left the wreck to rejoin the reef, when a pod of seven dolphins sped past her. “The pod split around me as I hovered, watching open-mouthed in amazement!” said Beth. “I just aimed my camera and pressed, hoping some shots would come out”. This is one of Beth’s lucky images.

We exhibited at two dive shows last month, the Salon de la Plongée in Paris, and the Boot in Dusseldorf. It was a pleasure to meet so many of you at the shows. A record number of visitors attended in France, while the boat show in Germany was impressive as usual. Our next event is the London International Dive Show, on 28-29 March, where you can find us in the Red Sea zone. We hope to see you there!
