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?

Temperatures in Egypt now are around the usual 30C, just like in Europe except for the gentle northerly winds that sooth us from the heat and allows us to dip in the Red Sea any time. And one more good thing for divers these days in Egypt, that the reefs will surely not be crowded and the marine life is still just as rich and abundant as any other time during the year.

Here are a couple of summer weeks where you can find places for your next safari:

1. August 14-21, 2011 — M/Y Cassiopeia — St Johns/Abu Fandira tour
2. August 17-24, 2011 — M/Y Andromeda — St Johns tour

About rates and further details of the tours contact us or click here.

There was an amazing race for “likes” on our Facebook group page this past week. The prize was an Egyptian diving safari for 2. A tremendous number of “likes” were given to the pictures as we were witnesses to a serious head-to-head race. Only a few hours before the end of the race, it still seemed like the dice may turn…

Let’s start with the most important – the esteemed winner of our game is Stepan Shulga, collecting a total of 654 “likes”. Once again congratulations to Stepan and his substantial voting group of friends . We wish you a great safari filled with lots of things to see! We have already contacted the winner and he can be on his way with a friend to their well-deserved prize of Egyptian safari!

The Winner:

Just to recap:

We called on all our diver and non-diver members between June 8 and 14 to upload pictures onto our Facebook group site with the writing “Andromeda safari” displayed, preferably in the most creative ways. After that things got simple as all was to be done was to collect enough “Likes” to reward the owner of the most enduring and lasting picture with the most “Likes” with an Egyptian safari for 2.

We can say with certainty that our game has reached its purpose – we were able to make a player happy and at the same time we were able to liven up our Facebook community in a usual but effective way. We thank for this all the ones who had posted the pictures and all those who had voted! Of course we are curious to hear about your experiences, suggestions and what you thought of the game.
