The CDWS has launched a new training scheme which will see 50 Egyptian staff members of diving operations in the Sinai region become fully qualified PADI snorkel guides. Those passing the qualifications will then be legally qualified to work as guides for snorkellers. CDWS dive centres across the Sinai have been invited to ask members of their Egyptian staff to apply to take part in the fully subsidised course. Similar courses will be available to Egyptian staff in other areas of the Red Sea in the near future. For more information, or to download an application form, click here.
