News in November 2008

We are proud to announce that we have become one of the first dive centres in Sharm el Sheikh to be certified as meeting international standards (EN 14467/ISO 24803) for recreational diving. Last month, auditors appointed by the Chamber for Diving and Watersports (CDWS), inspected and approved our facilities. This means that all our guests may be assured of the high quality and safety of the diving and snorkeling services we provide. The CDWS inspection covered all areas related to recreational diving and snorkelling. These include maintenance of equipment and compressors, qualification of staff, and provision of services according to agreed safety standards.

Two new special edition certification cards are now available for all PADI courses. The cards are offered in collaboration with Project AWARE (Aquatic World Awareness Responsibility and Education), the dive industry’s leading non-profit environmental organization dedicated to conserving underwater environments. The two limited edition designs celebrate whale sharks and 2008 International Year of the Reef and are available for new certifications or as a replacement card. To get one of the special cards, tell your instructor when completing your certification form and donate a minimum of £5.00 (sterling) to Project AWARE. You will gain a very special certification card and help Project AWARE combat environmental challenges.
