Camel Hotel is something of a diving legend in Sharm el Sheikh. For over 20 years Camel has been a hub for divers visiting Sharm. Right in the heart of Naama Bay, this welcoming hotel and dive centre have earned a reputation for their superior service served up with a friendly atmosphere along the way.

With 38 rooms on site the 4* Camel hotel is intimate and friendly. The rooms are large and have air con, private bathroom, fridge, satellite TV and safe. Free wi-fi covers all public areas of the Hotel, which also houses the superb Italian and Indian restaurants, infamous sports and roof bars and a new ice cream parlour. With a laid back approach, Camel is a regular hot spot for guests and locals alike.

Camel Dive Club is a 5* PADI IDC centre that caters for novices through to instructors with an active technical team. Pool work for PADI courses is completed on site. Daily boat diving is on offer, led by a professional and friendly team of instructors. They are ready to explore every nook and cranny of Ras Mohammed, Tiran, Thistlegorm and Dunraven which are all close by. Just 5 minutes walk from Naama jetty, boat transfers are short and simple. Free nitrox for all Camel-certified nitrox divers adds to the mix. Camel is proud to accommodate divers with disabilities. Our standard 5 day dive package (2 dives a day) and 7 nights accommodation (B&B) is the perfect way to mingle diving with a vibrant night life at the Camel Hotel & Dive Club.

Whirlwind to Northern Wrecks / Reefs 21st November 2010 £955 4 Spaces

Whirlwind 102 Whirlwind 202 Whirlwind 302

Whirlwind takes pride of place at the front of the award winning Tornado Marine Fleet. She is the result of many years working with divers and it shows. The approach is professional and the quality is unsurpassed. Launched in May 2006, Whirlwind certainly knows how to make a great first impression.

The signature design with split level dining room and saloon optimises the already generous space on board this 36m vessel. Light and airy, all 10 cabins are twin beds, en-suite with air con and have a safe box. The saloon area is ample with welcoming sofas, tables, plasma screen, DVD, a multi channel sound system, juice and hot drink station and of course the popular bar. The expansive upper sundeck runs almost the entire length of the boat whilst the lower sundeck is a perfect spot to sit back in and relax. Whirlwind is fully enabled for Rebreather diving.

The Wrecks and Reefs itinerary is ideal for anyone new to the Red Sea. This itinerary hits all the key spots in the North, and then some. The Get Wrecked itinerary is the best way to visit the full volume of 19th and 20th C wrecks including Thistlegorm and Abu Nuhas. For a trip with broader scope, try a Brothers Wrecks Special that fits in Abu Nuhas, the Brothers, Safaga, Gubal and Thistlegorm. Whirlwind stands out from the crowd on any reef and the dedicated team know how to ensure that no aspect of your trip, no matter how small, goes unattended.

Wrecks and Reefs is the itinerary for any diver wanting to see the best of the Northern Red Sea. If you cannot decide which of the spectacular northern resorts to visit, why not take a trip to the best of both worlds. Reaching out from the shores of Sharm el Sheikh and venturing almost as far as Hurghada’s coastline, the Wrecks and Reefs itinerary gets to some of the most iconic dive sites Egypt has to offer, as well a few of lesser known beauties.

After the check dive, this tour starts in style. Tiran and Ras Mohammed are rightly two of the best known areas for diving in the Northern Red Sea. Be it on Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas or Gordon, diving in Tiran stands out for its lush coral gardens, sweeping drift dives and large gorgonian formations. The deep walls of Tiran mirror the startling drop offs of Ras Mohammed. This is where the Sinai stops and the adventure begins. Cruising past Shark and Yolanda, Wrecks and Reefs takes in the Alternatives, Small Crack and Bluff Point before moving onto the wrecks. The Northern Red Sea is a wreck diver’s delight. The almighty Thistlegorm is the setting for unforgettable diving, day or night. The Kingston, Dunraven, Abu Nuhas and Rosalie Moller only add to the excitement.

Be it on wreck or reef, the Northern Red Sea is teaming with the unique ecology that makes the region truly world class. The gentle sloping coral gardens play host to hundreds and thousands of candy coloured fish. 19th and 20th century wrecks have, over the course of time, formed artificial reefs. Surgeon fish dart through port holes while glass fish swarm idly by. Macro life is abundant and cleaning stations pulse with the day’s traffic. Blue spotted sting rays, eagle rays and manta abound and the summer months see large pelagic sharks gather on the drop off. Hammerheads, Black Tips, leopard and even tiger sharks all visit the region.

Wrecks and Reefs is the ideal itinerary whatever your experience level. A popular route for those new to the Red Sea, the varied depths across dive sites suit all abilities – from novice to tekkie. Visibility is crystal clear and the warm blue waters are perfect for even the longest dive times. Water temperatures typically range between 20 and 28 degrees throughout the year. Diving can be accessed whatever the season, either by boat or RIB. Currents push nutrients rich water from north to south, giving you plenty of opportunity for exhilarating drift dives. Travel times between dive sites are short leaving more time for relaxing.

Endlessly flexible, Wreck and Reefs has become a classic route. And yet no two trips are ever the same. The route can be adapted easily to ensure you visit the right dive sites… at any time of the year. The underwater scenery is ever changing and guaranteed to leave you breathless. Few other dive destinations can offer the same quality and quantity of top dive sites. Above the water line, islands dot a glassy blue horizon. This itinerary will fill your log book with both wrecks and reefs that are envied the world over
