PARK FEES TO BE EXTENDED TO ALL DIVING & SNORKELING LOCATIONS
Dive Africa has been informed that as of the 1st September 2012 all visitors to any of Sharm's diving and snorkeling destinations (Strait of Tiran, Ras Mohammed National Park and Local sites) will be required to pay a daily fee of €5 per person. For a long time this fee has only been applicable to guests visiting the Ras Mohammed National Park, and has enabled the Park Rangers to protect the local environment and educate all people (residents and tourists) about the conservation of the unique land and marine life we enjoy around Sharm el-Sheikh. Therefore, as of the 1st September 2012, all Dive Africa guests will be required to pay this additional €5 for all diving and snorkeling activities.
DON’T PUFF ME UP!
They look like organic dirigibles of the sea, have a cute smiley face and pose no threat to humans, yet each year these wonderful and diverse fish are subjected to abuse by divers, snorklers and swimmers alike. At the best, they are caught and handled until they inflate themselves in to an almost spherical shape and, at the worst, they are caught, cleaned, dried and then inflated to make “attractive and unusual” lamp shades which, were they to know their ultimate fate would be as a talking point on someone’s coffee table, would probably provided them with little comfort.
What are we talking about? Puffer fish and porcupine fish of course.
