Can I suggest the Admin here puts this up as a sticky for anyone wanting to dive in the Red Sea ?

Diving Centres in Egypt - The following diving centres have been met ISO standards EN 14467 / ISO 24803 for diving as agreed with Egypt’s CDWS, the Austrian Institute of Norms and the European Underwater Federation.

About CDWS

The Chamber of Diving and Watersports was founded by Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism in 2007 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 diving centres and safari boats will meet ISO standards EN 14467 / ISO 24803 for diving by 2009 as agreed with Egypt’s CDWS, the Austrian Institute of Norms and the European Underwater Federation.
 
Id say dont put it as a sticky as its at best misleading, at worst just plain wrong.

The CDWS site itself is inaccurate as to which centres are accredited, which are closed and so on. That in addition to the fact it has absolutely nothing at all to do with how safe an operator is. Its pretty much who knows the right person and paid the right fee.

Probably best not to sticky what amounts to an inaccurate propaganda body.

Do you have proof of this or are you being an "inaccurate propaganda body ?"
