Dear Diver
Are you planning a diving break this winter? Until 15 March, you can enjoy up to 33% off our normal dive package prices, including free nitrox and transfers to any hotel in Sharm El Sheikh. We also offer discounted packages for stays at Camel Hotel. Find more details below, or stay up to date with our latest news and offers on the Camel forum, Facebook or Twitter.
Our team will experience winter too this month, when we attend the Salon de la Plongée in Paris, and the Boat show in Düsseldorf. These are some of the year’s best shows, so we hope to meet you there.
Finally, we were delighted that our conservation efforts were recognised during 2009; watch out for more Eco Tribe activities during the coming year. This month we also bring you more underwater images from Erich Reboucas, featuring Nemo, in celebration of our very special Red Sea.
We wish you happy diving in 2010
Your Camel Dive Club team
Photos: Nemo mania
Whether you are a beginner or experienced, every diver loves finding Nemo. But, as underwater photographers know, the anemonefish is incredibly difficult to photograph - it just won’t stay still! To celebrate this fascinating fish, photographer Erich Reboucas has created on Flickr an online album of beautiful Nemo shots like this one. Enjoy.
Special offer: 3 days diving for 108 Euro
Escape the winter by taking a diving break! Book a flight package to any hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, and you can save up to 33% off diving with us. From 4 January to 15 March 2010, 3 days guided boat diving costs just 108 Euro when booked in advance. We provide free transfers to/from all hotels in Sharm, and nitrox is included. The same package with a 7-night stay at Camel Hotel costs only 264 Euro during the same period.
Eco Tribe achievements awarded
Our Eco Tribe team ended 2009 on a high note. In November, we were awarded ‘Highly Commended’ by judges in the Virgin Responsible Tourism Awards; a big thank you to all who nominated us. Then in December, we appeared on a television show broadcast live at the Copenhagen climate conference. The programme called for action by policy makers to prevent the death of coral reefs. It interviewed Camel founder Hesham and Eco Tribe coordinator Cath, and screened footage of our healthy house reef at Royal Grand Sharm Resort. Watch the Camel team on TV via You Tube (in English).
Visit us in Paris and Düsseldorf this January
It was fantastic to see so many of you at DIVE 2009 in Birmingham, UK last October. This month we’re attending the Salon de la Plongée in Paris (15-18 January) and the Boat Show in Düsseldorf (23-31 January). You can find us in the Red Sea zone at both shows. Clare, Stephanie and Mike will be attending in Paris, with Stephanie and Bianca in Germany. If you’re visiting, be sure to pass by and say hello.
