Dear diver,

all the octopusses of the Red Sea are hiding, they are ashamed.... Did you here about their friend Paul the octopus, living in an aquarium in Germany? He is magic and saw the results of all the German world cup games in advanced. Even Germany being on third place and Spain winning the cup - Paul knew it! Sure all the German guests were upset about him, how much they would have loved to keep on cheering for their team! We found one single octopus in the Red Sea trying to come out of his cave with a flag as a sign of peace...Pass by and decide together, if this is o.k. Anyhow, all the best to all the Spanish, the game was great - congratulation!




Paul's uncle trying to make peace again....

But the diving is great at the moment! The water temperature is around 27 degree and believe it or not, outside temperature is less than in Europe (and we do have air conditions here). At the moment there were a lot of eagle rays, napoleons and just the day before yesterday out guests were diving with four dolphins for half an hour!! Summertime is the time for the big schoals as well, lots of young fishes around. It is a very active time under water, pass by and experience it together, unforgettable dives in perfect conditions. Tarek, a lot of you were diving together with him before started the dive already. Jump in, he is waiting to take you for some great dives...





Good bye Tini!

Some of you I am sure recognized already - Tiny left. After nearly exactly three years with us she decided to move back to Holland. We will for sure miss her, because all of us liked her a lot and it was a pleasure working with her.
We hope she will be back for a visit with us  and than for a change she could join all of you on the boat to spend a good time together! We are looking forward to this and wish Tiny all the best for her new start in Holland!




Nitrox Special

It is the best for everybody who would like to be fit and less tired, even after two or three dives per day: Nitrox! Why it is like this? Nitrox means enriched air, a part of the nitrogen is replaced with oxygen. Because of less nitrogen in the air you will get less tired as well, but not only this, for sure the nitrogen saturation is much less as well. For sure a lot of you know this advantage already, but everybody who would like to dive with nitrox must have a license for it. It is very important to know how to calculate the tables, what are your limits and how to check the air with the analyzer prior to the dive. Our special offer for you for the summer 2010:

NRC Nitrox course, incl. book and license    only 99.- Euro!!


See you soon at Ilios Dive Club!

Best regards from all the Ilios Team
