New advertising campaign for Oonas Dive Club one of the longest established dive centers in Na'ama Bay Sharm el-Sheikh.
For many years we proved to be a popular choice for diving and non-diving guests who seek friendly, informal, yet professional and safe environment on the shore of the Red Sea . The Club's superb Sinai beach location with its palm trees and sun-lounges is situated at the northern end of the Bay. Its unique atmosphere is created by the combined accommodation, dive centre, restaurant and bar. Oonas is a very popular and lively meeting point and is an ideal place to unwind after a great day's diving.

From the web
Dolphin Care UK is a very informative website by Chris Lowes a qualified Sub Aqua diver from Hull in East Yorkshire about Dolpins and the efforts to stop their massacre.
Dolphins all around our UK coast are being killed at an alarming rate, and it is this website's mission to help stop the needless killing of these beautiful creatures. But we need your help to help stop the deaths of Hundreds of dolphins around our coasts.
We aim to achieve better conservation of dolphins in the seas around Britain by involving the public in the monitoring of populations and the threats they face, and by the regular production of material to educate, inform and lobby for better environmental protection.
