Egypt Mar. 09: An incident of sexual harassment of a lone young woman during scuba diving has taken place. The trainer harassed the woman while she was scuba diving underwater. He touched her everywhere. He tried to hug her. A video of the tourist trying to get away from him has been released. The young woman herself revealed this video and gave explosive information about the harassment. This incident took place in Egypt and has caused intense outrage.
A scuba diver who targeted a lone young woman who was learning scuba diving tried to harass her while she was helpless underwater. A young woman named Rasha Median has narrated her bitter incident.
According to Rasha, the incident took place while she was taking an open water scuba diving course. During the training, the instructor touched her in a way that was not related to safety or the lesson. She said that this made her feel embarrassed.
Young woman pushes instructor’s hand underwater
In the video that has gone viral, Rasha is seen practicing diving with the instructor underwater. During this time, the instructor touches her body several times under the pretext of guiding her. In her post, Rasha explained that she pushed the instructor’s hands away to stop his behavior. She wrote that in the video, it is clear that she moved his hand to the side and put it somewhere else so that he would not touch her again.
Rasha said that in such underwater situations, there is an imbalance of power. Since the instructor controls the dive, the students are pressured to remain silent even if they feel uncomfortable. She stressed that such behavior that crosses personal boundaries should not be tolerated.
The trainer was acting suspiciously from the beginning
Rasha later shared another video, saying that the trainer was acting suspiciously from the beginning of the lesson. She advised women who are learning scuba diving while traveling alone to be careful while choosing a diving school or trainer. In her message, she also mentioned the name of the trainer responsible for the incident and advised that no one should hire him.
