Dive Centers in El Quseir

17 schools teaching scuba diving in El Quseir.

How to read this list, and what a register entry does not tell you

This page carries 17 schools. 17 are confirmed against the register. Read 2026-09-13.

Every one of them is here because the CDWS and SSI registers list it, and each entry links to the record it was read from. Nobody assessed any of them. Being in a register is not an inspection. Nothing on this page was read on the schools' own sites, so it carries no quotes and no languages.

Two kinds of source in one place, read on 13 September 2026, and absence means something different in each. 8 are published by SSI in its own register of affiliated centres, read on 13 September 2026. Each of those entries links to the register page it was read from, so the affiliation can be checked at the source rather than taken from here. 8 of the 17 publish a website. 12 of the 17 carry a membership number from Egypt's Chamber of Diving and Water Sports, read from its member list on 15 August 2026. The number is the Chamber's, not a licence: Egypt licenses dive centres through the Ministry of Tourism, and a licensed centre has to be a member of the Chamber, so a centre missing from that list is worth asking about. Absence from the other sources still means nothing: they are membership registers, not licences, and a business in none of them may simply not have joined, or may teach under a body that publishes no list at all. So this page is what these bodies list here and never the schools of El Qusier. What a listing proves is narrow. It says the body registers this business, on the date given. It says nothing about the teaching, the equipment, the boats or whether the school is open this season, and nobody was assessed for the purpose of this page.

On a dive page, Green Fins means a named third party visited the business and scored it. Nothing on this page is like that. What is here instead is a register entry: a body publishing the business in its own list, which settles that it is listed and nothing else about it.

What absence means here. A business missing from this page is one the CDWS and SSI registers list nowhere in this place. That is a statement about a list and not about a school: it may never have joined, or may teach under a body that publishes no list at all.

A register entry can be opened; a claim cannot. Every affiliation taken from a register links to that body's own page for that business, so the listing can be read at the source instead of taken from here.

Why these registers and not others. A register earns its place here by being enumerable and citable: it has to list who is in it, and each entry has to have a page that names the business, so a reader can check the claim instead of taking it from us. Most do neither. Green Fins is the case that shows the difference, because its members are the best evidence in this directory and its member pages render the same bytes for a real centre and an invented one, so a Green Fins fact is stored with a centre id and never cited as a link. Twenty-five were tried and nine answer: what each one returned, with the date it was asked.

Sources for this El Quseir list

  1. No operator website was read for this page. Everything here comes from the registers below, so there are no quotes, no training body beyond the register's own and no languages.
  2. How this list was assembled. The ssi training centre register, 3,868 centres worldwide fetched in one request and filtered to this place. A record is kept when the register's own city field names this place or its coordinates fall within 25 km of it, because each half fails alone: coordinates tied an Indonesian business to an Egyptian registration 10,000 km away, and city strings alone would have dropped a centre whose register coordinates sit 780 km out to sea. A business the register lists that was already on this page keeps everything read about it by hand; the register adds an affiliation and overwrites nothing. No aggregator, booking portal or review was used as a source.
  3. The El Quseir guide for the place itself, and the language directory for schools in other places that state which languages they teach in.
