Red Sea Global Achieves Saudi Arabia’s First PADI Adaptive Dive Centers
Red Sea Global, a pioneering force in the development of regenerative tourism destinations such as The Red Sea and AMAALA, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in Saudi Arabia’s diving scene. Their commitment to inclusivity and innovation has led to the establishment of Saudi Arabia’s first and only PADI Adaptive Dive Centers.
Setting New Standards in Diving Inclusivity
Red Sea Global’s dive centres have undergone meticulous planning and execution to earn the prestigious PADI Adaptive Service Facilities rating. This involves a comprehensive approach encompassing infrastructure enhancements, communication strategies, training methodologies, and stringent safety protocols. The core aim is to create an environment that is not only accessible but also welcoming to divers of all abilities.
A Paradigm Shift in Diving Experiences
The attainment of the PADI Adaptive Service Facilities rating signifies Red Sea Global’s ability to offer truly inclusive diving experiences. Central to this achievement is the presence of PADI Adaptive Techniques Instructors at each centre. These instructors are equipped to provide guidance and support, ensuring that every guest can explore the underwater world safely and comfortably.
Dive Centers: Nujuma Dive Center and TBV Dive Club
Red Sea Global operates two PADI 5-Star Dive Centers: Nujuma Dive Center, situated at the Nujuma Ritz Carlton Reserve Hotel, and the TBV Dive Club at Turtle Bay Village. These centres, managed by Galaxea, a wholly owned subsidiary of RSG specializing in dive operations, exemplify excellence in diving experiences.
Commitment to Training and Excellence
Galaxea’s instructors underwent rigorous training to achieve the Adaptive Techniques Instructor rating. This involved immersive experiences such as diving with limited mobility using webbed gloves and simulating sight impairment with a blackout mask. Through this training, instructors are proficient in guiding divers with diverse abilities, offering specialized PADI specialities like Adaptive Techniques Diver and Adaptive Support Diver.
Recognition and Collaboration
The Saudi Water Sports and Diving Federation lauds Red Sea Global for its pioneering role as the inaugural ‘PADI Adaptive Service Facilities’ in Saudi Arabia. This milestone not only highlights the inclusivity and excellence of diving in the Red Sea but also fosters collaboration to expand opportunities and destinations for all divers.
A Vision of Accessibility and Progress
Red Sea Global’s achievement aligns with its overarching commitment to accessibility and inclusivity in luxury tourism. As The Red Sea continues to welcome guests and the international airport facilitates seamless travel, RSG remains at the forefront of creating accessible experiences for all.
Future Prospects and Expansion
Looking ahead, Red Sea Global’s vision extends to the upcoming opening of Thuwal Private Retreat and the launch of AMAALA, set to redefine luxury hospitality in Saudi Arabia. With ongoing developments and a steadfast dedication to inclusivity, RSG continues to shape the future of diving and tourism in the region.
