News:
It's March! Woo Hoo.. Spring is just around the corner... full of hope and promise for a wonderful summer.
DiveBunnie Tees go truly global!! Yes, we have finally opened up our on line Tee Shop, where you can purchase the original DiveBunnie Tees created by GoodieGoodie in our funky bright colours... candy pinks, aqua blues and lemon n lime.
Thinking of becoming a SCUBA diving instructor? And really not sure what is involved with the course? Well look no further, we have a day by day account of our newest DiveBunnie Gemma's IDC here
The Ocean Club Hotel is open and back up on the Thomson website too! Let's get it filled up with divers once again, and restore the family atmosphere. Thomsons do have a limited supply of rooms, so if you find they are fully booked, feel free to drop the hotel a line directly. Khaled will sort you out via email. OK it might sound a bit odd in this day and age, however it works, and you get to stay in your favourite dive hotel.
DiveBunnie was invited to write a piece for Lady Diver Magazine. Read her Blue Hole article up here.
Wondering what the diving is like in Sharm? Follow our Sharm Diving Guide here. Starting with a selection of the local sites, follow our progress as the guide is updated as we go along. Watch this space, as we travel up to Tiran and down to Ras Mohammed.
So, that tempted you? A good place to book flights and accommodation is Last Minute where you can get some great deals. Just make sure your hotel is in Sharm el Sheikh, as this link covers the whole of the Red Sea Riviera. The Ocean College site is still offering the 10% discount for booking on line.
Pop along to flick through the latest edition of Blue Magazine Sharm's own dive mag.

So… to the daily business of DiveBunnie...
Share your thoughts with friends in our forum, find a bit of inspiration from other women divers, tips in our advice section and hopefully chill out around the site that is DiveBunnie. We're here for all women SCUBA divers, those who have just learned to dive, those who've been diving for years, and those who would just like to see what this SCUBA diving
lark is all about.
For complete novices, from the comfort of your living room, you can go to the Ocean College E-classroom where can start your Open Water course right now! Once the theory's done, you can finish off your course in the Red Sea, here in Sharm el Sheikh at The Ocean College dive centre. Not sure what to expect? Well here you can find out what is involved when you learn to SCUBA dive.
Inspire yourself with our popular Diva Diaries: Of course we have DiveBunnie's own Bunnie Blog, and Jilly one of our most prolific diary keepers, recently completed her Course Director Course and kept a day by day account especially for us. Read it here!. Sian has been in the Seychelles working on a reef conservation project. The braver ones among you can read about Nettie going Techie on us, as she describes her advanced nitrox and decompression procedures courses, as well as Jilly facing her fears of the dark and learning how to venture safely, deep into the caves of Mexico. And now she has put those skills to use here in Sharm with the Jackfish Alley project.
Find out about staying healthy, reef conservation and dive research. And of course, whilst scuba diving can be serious, we can't have a diving site for women without a little touch of girlieness, so let's not forget the most important
thing… shopping! Including our very own KIt Store, Books Etc and our place to Totally Think Pink. So… get looking for all those little nick nacks you never knew you needed.
Being based in Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt, a Mecca for scuba divers, we thought we would have a little Sharm Low Down page.
Pop along and find out what to do, where to go, how to get here, and of course, a little of what to see in and out of the water.
Want to dive with the Bunnie?? Well drop us a line and we can help organise your trip, from flights right through to accommodation and the diving iteslf, in conjunction with Ocean College here in Sharm.

Well after our second battering of winds, we are back to lovely flat seas, and very little wind. What breeze we do have however is coming from the South, so let's hope it doesn't pick up too much, as we aren't sheltered at all when it comes from that direction.
For previous reports, pop along to our weather watch page.
Check out our Bunnie Blog for an insight to life as a diving instructor here in Sharm el Sheikh. Don't forget to join our group on Facebook where you can post your own photos and videos, and catch up with the latest local DiveBunnie goings on with Twitter.
