Camel Videos on You Tube: Whale Sharks, Manta Rays and More!
 Whale Sharks, Manta Rays, Moray Eels…With all these and more seen regularly this summer, diving in Sham el Sheikh really has been outstanding.
The spectacular underwater life is too good to miss! We decided to share some highlights with you via our You Tube video page. If you were lucky enough to join us this summer, watch the videos to re-live your underwater encounters. Or if you are still thinking about taking a dive holiday, see the videos to help make up your mind!
With special thanks to Carlotta Rio, Tom Osborn and Claudio Garombo. All the clips were filmed while diving from Camel boats at local sites, Ras Mohammed National Park, or the Straits of Tiran.

Meet Camel Dive Club’s Biggest Fan
 As the longest-established diving brand in Sharm el Sheikh, Camel often has divers who, once they’ve dived with us, keep coming back. However, staff were stunned last month when regular guest Neil Airey arrived sporting possibly the ultimate symbol of loyalty -- a Camel Tribe tattoo!
Neil, aged 36, from Chester, UK, made the tattoo after completing his Rescue Diver course at Camel. According to Neil, it took an hour to copy the Camel Tribe logo from a t-shirt, and “it didn’t hurt – well not much!” Asked why he did it, Neil, who learned to dive at Camel in 2005, said “Camel is my home – it’s where my heart is.” He later added a hammerhead tattoo to remind him of the famous dive at Jackson Reef!
Congratulations to Neil for achieving PADI Master Scuba Diver rating.Live Brazilian Beats at Camel Bar

They received a rapturous welcome from guests and regular attendees at Camel’s Thursday Night Live music sessions. Napalma’s energetic fusion of Brazilian and African music had the crowd dancing immediately. The party continued til late! Napalma’s next visit to Camel is planned for 18th September, a night not to be missed!
