OUR EXPERIENCE
Chris Scott has many years experience training scuba divers and operating resorts. He has been a PADI Master Instructor for 16 years. He was awarded the Platinum Pro 5000 Diver & Instructor awards in 1996 at the DEMA International dive show for outstanding contribution to the dive industry. In 2005 he has obtained PADI Key Man status for the number of people trained in 2005.
Starting scuba diving over 30 years ago it was a different sport, mostly conducted in cold waters with ill fitting wetsuits and twin hose regulators. Initially a BSAC Instructor he has also qualified with CMAS and SSI. In the early years he was involved in wreck hunting and located dived and filmed the Battleship Formidable which was sunk by torpedo 1st January 1915. He was also privileged to have the opportunity to dive on scientific projects with dolphins and the experience is better than one would even imagine!
He has trained over 100 Instructors, and set up and operated for eight years the first British dive resort in the Egyptian Red Sea. He also operated two liveaboard dive boats which were amongst the first to venture into the deep South of the Egyptian Red Sea.

In the UK with a staff of 24 Instructors he ran scuba training in leisure centres around the UK. Opening up the market for overseas holiday diving.
In addition he won the concession to operate dive-training centres aboard P&O cruise ships. Centres were based on Oriana, Victoria and Canberra and links with over 80 dive centres around the world were established to enable the passengers to be able to dive when the ships visited the various ports of call. Customers were either families with children (in the summer months) or over 50`s for the rest of the year. Many of the people trained on these cruise ships became regular customers and joined us in our Red Sea resort.
After leaving the Red Sea Chris set up dive travel programmes for tour operators visiting Malaysia including Layang Layang, Redang, and the wrecks of Labuan.Other resorts included Coron and the off shore reefs of Tubbataha in the Philippines and Manado in Sulawesi. In Oman he investigated the dive potential of Musandem, an undived area with spectacular scenery and the Daymaniyat Islands off Muscat.
He now runs regular escorted trips to the Red Sea with groups of around 12 for the last three years with a high level of repeat business. Groups cater for families with children, learning weeks, relaxing weeks, photography courses and wreck courses.

Matt Scott After spending much time on and around the dive boats over the last ten years he has now trained to Divemaster and assists on our Red Sea trips.
Starting diving at a early age he particularily liked night dives but is not soo keen now! switching his preference to wrecks!
Sharm is like a second home to him and in 2006 he intends to futher his training to Instructor and plans to work in the Red Sea.
