Presidents of CMAS Continent Zones Join the CMAS Board of Directors Following Statute Amendments
Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt – 9 May 2025
A significant development was introduced during the Elective General Assembly of the Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques (CMAS), held on 9 May 2025 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt: the automatic inclusion of the Presidents of the CMAS continental confederations in the CMAS Board of Directors, following unanimously approved amendments to the CMAS Statutes.
As a result, the following Presidents, or their approve delegate, of CMAS continents now join the CMAS Board as ambassadors of their respective continents:
- CMAS Africa – Mr. Cherif Habib
- CMAS Asia – Mr. Talal Al Sarhan
- CMAS Europe – Ms. Catarina Emsevik (Delegate)
- CMAS America – Mr. William Peña
This important step strengthens continental representation and reinforces the Confederation's commitment to global balance, inclusion, and direct dialogue between CMAS and its continental structures.
CMAS warmly congratulates and welcomes the four continental Presidents to the Board of Directors and looks forward to a dynamic and fruitful four-year collaboration in advancing underwater sports and activities across all continents.
