Red Sea kicks in June
Whether you love football or loathe it, the Red Sea is the place to be when EURO 2012 kicks off next month. That's the message from Emperor Divers, which says it is offering some great Red Sea deals from the day of the first match of the tournament on June 8."Join us in any of our Red Sea resorts to watch your favourite match. No need to travel to Poland – travel to the Red Sea and celebrate with some fabulous dives (we can also do commiserations)," says the company. "On the other hand, you might want to escape the football fever and we can do that too."
Running until July 1, the offers include: 5 days' diving from 150 euros; PADI Open Water courses from 234 euros; 7 nights' B&B plus 5 days' diving from 275 euros; and 1-week liveaboard dive trips from 750 euros.

New on DIVER TV this week
Andrew Leng, Diving Officer of Icicle Divers (SAA 108), Crewe, has produced a great video of diving the Shuna earlier this month, and followed the same route as DIVER Wreck Tour 48. “We were blown out at Weymouth so, rather than visit a quarry, decided to drive up to Lochaline Dive Centre in our lovely new van to do a couple of shipwrecks in the Sound of Mull," said Andrew. “The Shuna, a 1427-ton steamer loaded with coal, sank 99 years ago almost to the day. This is the best dive I’ve ever had on her as she can be quite silty”.Take a look at his video on the Wrecks & Reefs channel of DIVER TV.
Take your iPhone diving!
The iPatima iPhone4 or 4S housing may not enable divers to make calls under water, but it is designed to allow you to keep your treasured smartphone safe beside you on dives – and you can also use the camera function for stills or video while you’re immersed. There are enough controls for all the essential functions, and the robust-looking case is rated to 300m. The unit costs £275. The contact website for the iPatima housing as shown in the June issue of DIVER magazine is incorrect. It is in fact available through Ocean Leisure Cameras, so to find out more or to buy a unit, go to www.oceanleisurecameras.com
Your perfect dive travel companion
Your next dive trip is just around the corner, but where will you go this time? The DIVER Travel Guide 2011/12 is the travelling companion that will help you decide. Featured are 60 destinations that offer some of the best diving in the world, arranged alphabetically for ease of reference and coded by price range. Within each destination chapter you'll find four main sections, aimed at beginners, advanced divers, wreck-heads and photographers. Where seasonal considerations apply, in terms of marine-life sightings and climate, you'll find a calendar to help you decide when to go. And a month-by-month calendar at the end of the book will help if you just want to go wherever you'll find whale sharks in February or mantas in June. There are maps, essential information in the individual fact-files, an airline baggage chart and much more.
