Yassin
said that it was agreed between the school and the diving association to share
the diving sites in the Gulf of Aqaba to promote international
marketing programs between both. He also shared that the school will provide diving
courses using the latest developments, and Jordanian divers will be recruited
to participate in them in said courses.
Yassin
also mentioned the competitive advantage that Aqaba and its Gulf hold. By being
located within the waters of the Red Sea, it is home to some of the best
corals, and it has about 29 distinguished
diving sites at the global level. As a tourist city, Aqaba was also able to
control the epidemiological situation due to COVID-19 and vaccinate more than
80 percent of its residents, which is the highest percentage in the Kingdom.
Brambilla
praised the activities carried out by the Aqaba Diving Association in serving
those wishing to pursue the profession, in addition to its role in promoting
and marketing Aqaba’s tourism abroad and attracting diving enthusiasts from
various surrounding countries by providing distinguished services to divers
through its diving facilities and the sites prepared for this inside the sea.
