Diving Regulations and Medical facilities in Dahab

Egypt has established some National Parks in the Sinai and Red Sea area in order to raise the environmental awareness and care, that followed by establishing the CDWS ( chamber of diving and water sports) with a goal to improve quality, safety and standard of services in the diving and watersports industry, as well as to preserve unique environment of the Red Sea.

All these Organizations have developed rules and regulations to be followed by locals, Tourists and business alike.
