Medical Certificate for Egypt

Anyone just come back from Egypt and know the current situation regarding
the above?

I am off to dive around Hurghada in April and am wondering what the latest
news is from the coal/coral face for medicals required!

Surely someone has some information!

So, if you are on a live-aboard, you need 50 logged dives, insurance and
a medical cert.
But, if you are on a shore based holiday, with a 3 or 5 day package, you
don't need any of those, and the onus is on the operator of the boat to
ensure there are enough guides based on the experience level of the
passengers.
