Tornado Marine Fleet
Hurricane trip 4th July - Photography week
Hurricane set sail on a special photography week with divers from Scuba Travel UK and renowned photographer Martin Edge. Martin Edge is a published photographer, published author, and has won many awards for his underwater images. For the past 20 years has continued his passion to teach and develop other aspiring underwater photographers. Hurricane’s photography week, was a special itinerary designed to do just that. At the end of the week the images of the divers were judged in a friendly competition, with Paul Short’s image of divers entering the water on a twilight dive to capture the dappled light at The Alternatives, winning the competition. Paul was presented with a Hurricane T-Shirt by Martin Edge and Captain Hamada. Tornado Marine Fleet would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Paul.
Hurricane trip 30th May - And huge congratulations go to:
On 2nd June, David proposed to Jane on Small Gobal Island at sunset. We had had a great days diving completing three dives on the Rosalie Moller, and went back round to moor up at Small Gobal Island overnight. Most of the guests went via zodiac for a stroll around the island to see the sea eagles. We arranged a private trip for Dave and Jane on to the island at sunset as the others returned to the boat. Dave managed to keep it a secret from everyone, including Jane. He duly proposed at sunset, and she accepted. On their return to the boat, champagne was served (this had been brought on the pretext it was for a birthday) and we had dinner and celebrated into the evening.
Typhoon - Destroyed in fire - January 2010
At approximately 02.00 on 30 January 2010, MY Typhoon caught fire whilst at dry dock in Suez. All work had been completed on Typhoon and she was due to begin her journey back to Sharm that morning. The fire continued until approximately 23.00 the same day spreading to several other boats stationed nearby and completely destroying Typhoon. No one has been injured during this incident.
Alternative arrangements for all existing bookings on MY Typhoon are being made and customers will be contacted within the next few days to reconfirm their reservation.
Typhoon has given many happy memories to clients and staff alike and will be missed within the fleet. Plans are already in process to expand the fleet once again and we hope we will be announcing a new arrival in the near future.
