Comments and Feedback
We were lucky to welcome this fantastic group of divers from the UAE, who were partly sponsored by their employer HSBC, for their trip which sole purpose was to help clean underwater in Sharm el Sheikh. The amazing multinational group enjoyed three days of diving, including a trip to the SS Thistlegorm (where no debris was collected :)). In total, they collected over 50 kg of debris from the Red Sea. Camel Dive Club enjoyed this extremely unique trip and we look forward to welcoming them back soon for more clean up adventures.
