Manta Reisen Winners Enjoy Holiday at Camel Dive Club
MANTA REISEN WINNERSCamel Dive Club and Swiss Tour Operator Manta Reisen offered a competition for readers of the Manta holiday newsletter. The winners, Stefan and Anna Nipp from Spreitenbach near Zurich, Switzerland, won a weeks diving holiday at Camel Dive Club & Hotel in April 2007.

"We were very impressed with the level of professionalism at Camel Dive Club. The guides were extremely helpful and knowledgeable, maintaining safety throughout. The boats were clean and comfortable and it was a pleasure to dive from them.

We found the hotel to be very relaxed and conveniently located with friendly staff. Camel's restaurants were excellent and the Roof provided the perfect atmosphere to relax and unwind after our days diving."

Anna and Stefan visited the Dunraven Wreck and particularly enjoyed their diving in the Ras Mohammed National Park. "It was very exciting being so close to large sea turtles and moray eels. We will take home some great diving memories but hope to return soon to the Red Sea."

"Double Platinum" IDC at Camel Dive Club
Martin BakerPaul ToomerWe now have a new Course Director, Martin Baker, who has worked in Sharm for 7 years. He joins Paul Toomer, Camel's UK based Course Director (CD), to run "Double Platinum" Instructor Development Courses (IDCs) and Instructor specialties. Martin and Paul are both Platinum CDs, which means they have certified over 100 Instructor level certifications in the last year. Worldwide, there are less than 100 Platinum Course Directors.

James Morgan, Vice President Training and Customer Service PADI Americas, based at the PADI Headquarters in Los Angeles, comments that "given the small number of Course Directors that achieve Platinum status, Camel would be an elite company by having two Platinum Course Directors that are also DSAT Tec Trimix Instructor Trainers."

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Martin's predecessor Marco Giovannini for all his hard work at Camel and wish him all the best in his future career. The next IDC starts on June 18th and now includes free Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) upgrade. PADI IDC at Camel
