A law prohibiting the scaphander was promulgated in 1902, but is not effectively enforced.
EGYPT.
I went to Egypt in 1901 , after successful visits to Samos, Crete, Cyprus, and Timis. I encoimtered considerable opposition, but a beneficent law was at length promulgated in the spring of 1902, to be followed in the autunm by a similar decree for the whole Ottoman Empire. The Egyptian Government has always shown great interest and care for its sponge fishermen, having founded a colony for them nea
...r the excellent harbor of Marsa Matruh, 160 kilometers west of Alexandria, and having also rigorously enforced the law by means of the coast guard.
In 1906 a rich new bank, extending no miles from Abukir and having a width of I to 3 miles in a depth of 20 to 60 meters, was discovered by some Italian fishermen, who found sponges in their nets. This El Dorado, known as the bank of Port Said, after a most successful cruise thither by a vessel from Syme, attracted sponge fishermen from everywhere. The sponges were of the finest qualit}', and conditions were most favorable, for the diving apparatus was entirely excluded.
