Dear CDWS members,
According to the instructions of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the relevant laws, kindly adhere to all safety and security instructions and the international standards regulating diving and water sports activities to preserve the safety of tourists and practitioners and the reputation of the Egyptian tourist destination.
As per the relevant laws and declarations signed by the technical managers, you are solely responsible for the accuracy and integrity of the data included in any Trip Notification issued by your facility. The technical manager is held accountable for any forging or tampering with this information.
Accordingly, to avoid the facility’s license revocation, we urge all technical managers to thoroughly review and verify the accuracy of all data before submitting any Trip Notifications.
It is also important to mention that, as per the Personal Data Protection Law, sharing your facility's CDWS username and password with unauthorized facilities/individuals is strictly prohibited. This practice has been observed recently by a few facilities sharing their login credentials with others in order to issue or sell a trip notification.
Those violations will lead to the cancellation of the license and legal actions by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the CDWS.
Regards,
The Chamber of Diving and Water Sports
