PADI Member Forum News

Member Forums for the region have taken place in Dahab and Sharm El Sheikh. Over 100 members from the Sinai attended these events hosted at the Hilton Hotel in Dahab and the Sheraton Hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.

These events provided a chance for members to talk to the Regional Manager face to face and to share in the success the region has achieved during 2008. Areas that were covered during the event included a review of PADI performance in Egypt and surrounding areas, together with a look at the new products that will be available during 2009. The popular standards quiz was also included to test and update members on the current standards. Prizes were awarded to numerous individuals who’s standards knowledge was exemplary. Information was also shared on the changes affecting PADI members in Egypt, covering the involvement of the CDWS and the role of the new PADI Snorkel Guide. So if you don't know the answers to the following questions come along
