Taken from Sport Diver<<<< Snorkelling made safer.
PADI has joined forces with the Chamber of Diving and Watersports (CDWS) in Egypt to develop a Snorkel Guide training programme.
The snorkel guide training programme was launched through presentations in Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada. This new professional rating will ensure that all snorkel guides are trained in First Aid/CPR, and have knowledge of the local environment, together with relevant safety and rescue skills. Elements of the training will also ensure that supervision and environmental cinsiderations are a high priority.
The CDWS will continue to develop relationships with major training agencies to maintain and improve the quality of diving and watersports in Egypt.
