Hi
Divers,

News |
We have some fantastic prizes for you this quarter with some new competitions. All the news on our new reef and save the coral program plus much more. Also, we’ve been busy launching the Red Sea Platinum card, a first for the Red Sea with some great savings for you!!!
The water is still a barmy 29°C in the bay and the fish life is at it's best. This summer really seems to be stretching out with daily sightings of hammerheads in Tiran and a very playful dolphin to be seen around Ras Mohammed. |
New Reef Rescued
Ever the conservationists, Red Sea Diving College staff have got involved in a new project. An artificial reef with a difference!
Last year staff from the college created the first artificial reef in Sharm.

A Sad Ending to Daves Story
Dave, the most famous turtle in the red sea, if not the world, has sadly passed away.
Having had a disagreement with a propeller, his shell was split and great efforts went into rehabilitating him to allow a safe release, which was achieved on the 2nd of February. For the full original story, please click here….
It seemed Dave could not stop for a rest without reports flooding in that he was dead, although he would always be spotted the next day feeding away on Shark and Yolanda reefs, Daves idea of a joke to keep us on our toes no doubt.
Sadly, one day he was surfaced by a dive boat after some guides from another centre decided he was ill again and needed treatment. Ironically, he was to spend his last few days in the enclosure we built for him to be originally treated in.
College staff and locals are understandably upset at this final development in the story, but would like to thank everyone who helped with the initial rescue, rehabilitation and monitoring after his release in February. |

Dive to Walk
Most of us dive for pleasure, to experience the underwater world, to swim with the fish or to explore a wreck but for one British diver, his reason is different...he dives so he can walk. To prove his point he has just completed his 300th dive with Red Sea Waterworld in Taba Heights. .

What kids say……
We recently received this email into the office, and after we had all rolled around on the floor at how misguided kids can be (not to mention a question of the standard of teaching these days!), we had to share it!

Taba Update
In consultation with the local authorities and the National Park in Taba, Red Sea Waterworld is proud to be instrumental in the success of two new projects in Taba.
Firstly, staff at Waterworld are happy to have helped in the planning of new moorings at sites throughout Taba, ensuring they are correctly placed for both boats and the protection of the reef and surrounding area.
Secondly, Waterworld has been chosen as the site for the installation of some very new technology. Two devices, which will measure tidal movements in the northern red sea, have been placed within the Waterworld shore line, where they will feed data via satellite to the data collection centre. The data will be used to help predict tidal movements, information that is used to determine coral movements, and useful to all boat traffic in the area. |
