Our PicBadges is ready and available now on our Facebook site. This is our little badge that can be easily applied as anyone’s Facebook profile picture. What is it exactly and what is it good for? In the beginning of September we are launching our next Facebook game which will be related to this badge, of course!

What do you have to do?
Put our badge as your profile picture with the help of our PicBadges application (just follow the PicBadges steps) and leave it there until the end of September. Those who display our badge as their profile picture during this period, will be able to enter our sweepstakes and the chance to win some presents on September 30, 2011.

To make this easier for you, here is some help:
1. Enter our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/cassiopeiasafari
2. Click on the link with the claret arrow on our Wall.

3. In the new window on the left click on the yellow “Add to profile picture” icon.
4. Select Facebook.
5. Allow access to your Facebook profile.

6. Set the picture in the next window, publish it on Facebook and choose this picture as your profile picture.
7. And you are all set!

You do not have to tell us you have done this as we are going to see it but if you feel like sharing, go ahead and write to us on our Facebook site!

Time period of the game: September 1 – 30, 2011

Everyone is welcome to take part in the game who is a friend of the Cassiopeiasafari Facebook page!!! If you have any questions about this little procedure, we will help! If you are stuck, report it here or on Facebook.

PS: Your old picture is among the profile pictures, so you can change it back any time.

Have we mentioned that Longimanus have been seen again in August at Elphinstone? It has been a tradition for years that around August and September the Oceanic Whitetip sharks (Longimanus) appear at Elphinstone for some unknown reason. For the past few weeks 5 beautiful specimens have been staying near the reef and posing for the joy of divers.

From now on free WIFI Internet connection is available in Egypt to divers on both of our boats – M/Y Cassiopeia and M/Y Andromeda.

Internet connection has become a necessity these days, whether for work or entertainment or to be available for us during our holidays. In order to satisfy these demands, we have equipped both boats with WIFI internet connection. We are happy we were able to synchronise the technical advances of our age and the demand of guests for Internet connection in a way as not to present any additional expenses to the divers during the safaris.

Thanks to this improvement, divers onboard M/Y Cassiopeia and M/Y Andromeda can surf the Net free of charge on their notebooks or other devices with WLAN connection, starting in the summer of 2011. Today almost all portable computers and most smart phones are WIFI-enabled.

Free Internet connection gives divers the chance to follow their e-mails during their safari, to keep in touch with family and friends and to share their photos taken on the trips on their community pages before arriving home.

Of course, this is not mandatory , so those of you who wish to keep your holiday restful and free of any interruptions, you may leave your devices turned off.

Our latest promotional film has been completed, courtesy of Zsolt Sasdi. It has only been circulating on the Net for a short while but thanks to Facebook events, appearing on the home page and all of you sharing it with others, it has been seen and commented on by many. We like it a lot! What do you think?
