In another piece of good news for the beleaguered diving destination, Egyptian freedivers successfully launched their AIDA national body with a first meeting of AIDA Egypt in the capital on 29 January.
Egypt has had a strong freediving history, which started way back in 1999 when a national team was involved in some of the very first AIDA International competitions.
However, despite over 17 years of freediving history, it was only in 2016 that AIDA Egypt was formed and official documents submitted to AIDA International for recognition of the national body.
