Exciting News for Marine Conservation in the Red Sea
Join us in welcoming three incredible PADI Course Directors: Waleed Abd el Moubdy, Ashraf R. Muminah, and Ehab M. Al-Jawi. They have officially joined us for the PADI Marine Turtle Conservation Specialty Instructor Trainer rating.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to them for their invaluable support in translating and revising the Instructor Manual and educational materials into Arabic. Thanks to their hard work, we can better serve the wider diving community across the Red Sea. The Arabic material set will be available to the public very soon.
We also want to celebrate and welcome another brilliant 34 PADI Instructors from all over Saudi Arabia who are stepping up for this initiative and are now fully certified to teach the RED SEA TURTLES PROJECT™ PADI Distinctive Specialty Course.
