Some of the latest diving news Headlines:

So the elections are one their way and sometime in the next couple of months we will know for sure who has won the rather complicated election process here in Egypt. It is looking like the relatively passive Muslim Brotherhood are likely to win. It was kind of inevitable, they have helped so many over the years, were more prepared than anyone else, and are one of the less extreme parties. We shall see how things pan out for Sharm, but so far the word is that, things are likely to keep ticking along as usual. So that is a good news for us all.

A New Dawn for Egypt... Sharm's reefs reap the benefits
So we have had an absolutely incredible few weeks here in Egypt, where events have unfolded that we truly never thought would happen. The people rose up, voiced their feelings and eventually Mubarak stood down. A revolution. Thankfully Sharm was untouched by any violence, however all but the British tourists were pulled out of the whole of Egypt, hence things are a little on the quiet side. Not necessarily a bad thing, however.

Last update on Sharm el Sheikh
So Sharm went back to normal after the tragic shark attacks last winter. And, thankfully, they were not repeated this year.For the DB take on the situation you can read the article here. To answer some of your questions, the Shark Trust has created a collection of FAQ's which we have shared here

Imi
Imogen Simpson-Mowday shares her diving experiences in Pemba and the Galapagos with us. Fantastic stuff. Watch this space for her experiences at the Paris and Dusseldorf dive shows on our behalf.

Eugenie Clark Award
Our wonderful Shark Lady Eugenie Clark has been awarded a North American Lifetime Achievement Award this year... fantastic news.

Kirsty in the Park
Kirsty Stenhouse joins the National Park Research Team to conduct important surveys in and around Sharm el Sheikh.

Holly's story
Holly embarks on her Divemaster internship with Ocean College. As an amputee, she demonstrates that for her, this is a mere inconvenience rather than a disability. An inspiration to all of us.

DiveBunnie joins in Sharm's Amazing Race:
DiveBunnie joins the Ocean College team to take part in Sharm's Amazing Race this Sunday. Please sponsor us, all proceeds go to the Childrens Cancer Hospital in Cairo.

Gemma Passes her Instructor Exams:
Gemma Beggs finishes her internship with Ocean College completing her Rescue, Divemaster and Instructor courses with us over the last few months. Go girlie! And to sum things up beautifully, she gets to do her first days' work on Boxing Day... "the best Christmas Present" she says.

Liveaboard The Emperor Frazer sinks near the Dunraven:
Sad news indeed. Thankfully all divers and crew are fine, and the Emperor team have spent the last few days salvaging what they can of people's posessions.

DiveBunnie becomes Lady Diver of the month:
As Clare reaches Dive number 2000, she is made Lady Diver of the Month by the gals at Lady Diver Magazine.

So it's Bye Bye Schniff, Lisa n Leila. Long time Sharmers Iain and Lisa leave Sharm this week with their little girlie Leila, who has kind of become our dive centre mascot. Good luck to the three of them in their new life up in Edinburgh.

DiveBunnie writes for Lady Diver Magazine:
Clare shares her experience of a fun day diivng at the Blue Hole in Dahab.
