The CDWS (Chamber of Diving and Watersports) in Egypt, in cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism, the Governorates of both South Sinai and the Red Sea, the Tourism Police, the Coast Guard offices and the environmental and marine police are taking several measures to fight the following in Egypt.
- Abusing the diving market.
- Encouraging the street vendors.
- Increasing diving accidents.
- Negatively affecting the Egyptian Tourism Destination.
The above mentioned entities formed committees to take legal action against any illegal operation working in the diving sector without Ministry of Tourism license, by shutting them down and imposing large fines.
Dear members, it is very important to communicate with your chamber regarding any illegal operations or websites working in the diving and water sports sector and violate Law # 1 of year 1973 and its amendments, and Law # 85 of year 1968.
CDWS Statement
The CDWS is calling for all diving and water sports operations which have not renewed their Ministry of Tourism license for the last few years to hurry up and apply for the renewal of their license to avoid any trouble in the future.
