Emperor Elite Red Sea Trip Report, 23 – 30 September
A super international group of sixteen guests belonging to seven nationalities joined us on Emperor Elite to visit the sharky Brothers and the hammerheads at Daedalus, as well as the Oceanic rich Elphinstone.
Both Brothers are indeed very sharky at the moment, with copious sightings of grey reef sharks and hammerheads as well as threshers and Oceanics on every dive. The Oceanics were especially numerous, as we had up to five different individuals circling under the boats, approaching the divers closely. Everybody also enjoyed the Aida and Numidia visits as there was almost no current and dense, colourful fish life blanketed both wrecks.
Daedalus still never ceases to amaze as the school of more than twenty very friendly hammerheads is still playing with the divers, circling us and circling us between 30 and 40+ meters of depth, until protesting computers urge us to leave them before they leave us. The feeling of being utterly blessed, exhilarated and ever so grateful is always the same, no matter how many times we have experienced these encounters. Nobody can ever see enough schooling, playful Daedalus hammerheads.
Thank you to our guests for choosing Emperor Elite for your Red Sea diving adventure and for sharing the beautiful Red Sea diving with us! We hope you had a fantastic week and enjoyed our special Elite hospitality. Thank you very much to Paul for contributing your beautiful videos to our Facebook page this week.
Captain Mahmoud and his hard working, very professional and also very fun-loving Crew, did a superb job again this week, keeping us safe and making sure our week at sea was wonderful all around above and below, even in some quite rough seas. Shoukran gezilan, my dear Friends.
Take care, safe travels and safe bubbles. See you again soon, Inshallah. Fat sea hugs and bestest wishes.
Luke, Sonia, Zizo and Simone

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
