Hi all, has anyone heard of these guys? Reason I ask is :
1. I've just received a mail saying I've won a cruise on one of their
liveaboards
2. The list of winners on their site doesn't include me
3. There is a blatant plug for Exel Airways in their email to me
4. I have no idea how/why I won
5. It's all looking too good to be true.

Any experiences of using these guys?

TIA

Greg

Never heard of them, but in all reality if it says you won something then
its probably junk mail and in fact everyone in the world has won too!
Alternatively, it might just be advertising, where technically the boat is
free, but by the time you add all the required extras you will be paying
just as much as anyone else.

Right, after doing a bit of investigating, it looks like it was a
competition in Divernet in December 2004 (how am I supposed to remember that
far back!? Can't even remember what I did yesterday...) and it all appears
legit and above board. Looks like the cynical me was too quick off the
blocks... Marsa Alam here I come!

In which case, congratulations!

Hi! I saw some boats belonging to Divers Heaven Fleet last November
when I was in Marsa Alam (and around the typical dive sites in the
southern Red Sea). They seemed to be mainly catering for a German (or
German speaking - maybe Austrian and Swiss too?) clientele, towards the
high-end of the live aboard market ie comfy and spacious. I went on
board a couple of the boats on change over day when they were in port.
They all looked very clean, well looked after. One thing which I
thought was a "nice touch" was that nitrox was free on board whereas
other operators I have been with charge extra for that.
