Many of us are astounded the first time we catch a glimpse of the underwater world, unfortunately most of us lack the creativity to express this fully. One very talented young Advanced Open Water Student was so inspired by her diving she wrote a song. Stephanie Fitchett explains all;

The 5^th of August was a momentous day! Neil Armstrong (the first man to walk on the moon) was born, the cornerstone of the Statue of Liberty was laid, hit Beatles song Yellow Submarine was released and down in the Southern Tip of the Sinai something great began. In the late eighties the number of divers visiting Sharm was increasing but there was very little to offer anyone who wanted to learn to dive. Aquamarine Diving Centre; which was established over 30 years ago, decided to branch out with Red Sea Diving College as they saw a definite need in the market for a facility which catered to the student diver!

Having just learnt that RSDC will be celebrating its 20^th birthday this year, we can tell you that a week long extravaganza is taking place! Divers who visit us during the week 1^st-7^th August will be able to enjoy some, or all of the twenty temptations we have lined up over these days. These range from special offers, competitions, a taster of a new diving experience or a tipple at our 20^th Birthday Beach Party on the evening of 5^th August!

The team at Red Sea Waterworld and Red Sea Diving College would like to introduce you to the newest member of the Club Med Team. Olivier Diallo has taken over the helm at the prestigious Club Med – Sinai Bay Village’s branch of Red Sea Waterworld. Olivier studied economics in Paris but despite this urban existence he always spent his free time exercising and exploring the outdoors.

Welbeck Defence College, from Leicestershire, UK, again used the facilities at Red Sea Waterworld on their recent visit to Taba Heights.  The college combines the academic side of life with sporting events, social, cultural and leadership activities, to help prepare students for their lives as Officers in the Armed Forces, within the Civil Service or in civilian employment.

Nothing can ruin a day out diving on a boat like seasickness! Instead of the gentle rocking motion relaxing you and allowing some well earned shut-eye in the sun, you spend the day praying to God that the boat can return to the jetty and allow you the relief of land beneath your feet. This month we ask our medical experts what causes this and more importantly how to prevent or control it once it takes hold.
