Egypt has forcibly closed 23 dive centres which supposedly do not meed the quality requirements set up by the Chamber of Diving and Watersports. This is a part of a license enforcing programme. While this sounds good in theory I am not so convinced that process works well. Egypt is a thoroughly corrupt country and there are some very well run centres on the list as far as I can judge. Let us see what else that will come out of this process. I am generally speaking positive to quality controls but I have seen how poorly this can work in places like Malta so I am slightly sceptical about actions like these. The good thing here is that the controls seem to be based on ISO standards - let us hope that things are done correctly!
