Hi Sean,
Why go with emporer divers i just returned from sharm yesterday arfter two weeks sunning and diving
Before i went i emailed 6 different dive centers two see if they put together a taliored package camel,emporer,sinai,ocean and the only one to reply personally and not send a price list/brochure was mr diver an italian outfit.So upon arrival i visited them and booked with them. they offer 10 dives for 165 euros and better deals after the first ten.They are one if not the biggest operator out of sharm they have 6 boats and 7 centres in sharm. They always have enough people wanting to go to the thistlegorm and a trip to dahab, you get picked up in an air conditioned coach not mini bus aslo they do not charge extra to go to the dunraven wreck like all the others do it is just another dive at the standard rate.
Wilst moored at the reef you see the other boats from other dive centres and they all dive the same sites to a limit of 30m no different the only thing i could find was that emporer have an instructor who is quallified to teach deep tech/rb if you wanted to this.
All in all i as very impressed by mr diver they looked after me real well in the end i did 30 dives,second week on nitrox,thistle,dehab and they made sure there was always din tanks for me.they gave me lots of discount 50% of nitrox lots of 3rd dives free and some days there would be an extra tank of nitrox for the 3rd dive again free.To top it off most of the dive guides are french/italian babes so if you didn't see much sharks,fish you still came up with a smile from the view.As a tip to who ever you book with dive the thistle on nitrox as with nitrox you get a 230 fill compared to 200 on air.I saw lot of people coming up with no air or missing safty stops but from other boats of course
and i think there was about 15 when we arrived.On that note Mr diver leave a bit later and so when we arrived most other boats had done the first dive and was in there SI so nice and quite down there then on our second dive most boats had left.
The last week was 48 C in the sun and is expected to rise 50+ in the next week or two so take your lotion
