US tourist ‘exposes’ scuba diving instructor who she filmed ‘touching her inappropriately’ while underwater in Egypt

A holidaymaker has shamed a ‘creepy’ scuba diving instructor after filming him repeatedly ‘touching her inappropriately’ while underwater.

Rasha Mediene travelled solo to Egypt and attended the first day of a €350 scuba diving course on March 1.

The 31-year-old said she met with the instructor who refrained from hugging her due to it being Ramadan and her being a Muslim.

But when the two went underwater, she said the man started holding her hand as she recorded their dive on her camera.

The content creator claims the instructor touched her bottom while in the water, making her feel uncomfortable.

Shocking footage shows the two swimming while holding hands, before the teacher turns round and puts his hand around Ms Mediene – appearing to place his hand on her behind and then her leg.

While Ms Mediene tries to push him away, the instructor grasps hold of her legs again in what appears to be an attempt to stop her moving away.

Ms Mediene said the instructor ‘showed off’ and even offered to drive her home once they were back on land, but she refused and returned to her hotel.

Ms Mediene, from Los Angeles, California, US, said: ‘I was trying to show Egypt is one of the cheapest places to do scuba diving.

‘It was my first day, I met the instructor and it was Ramadan. I am a Muslim. When he met me, he found out I was Middle Eastern and said ‘I would hug you but it’s Ramadan.’

‘There was a camera and still chose to do what he did. He held my hand, normal, this has happened before.

‘But then when he went into the dance move, I thought, I’m pretty sure we shouldn’t be doing this.

‘I was new to learning. I didn’t know what his intentions were. I thought he might be doing something to grab the oxygen, I don’t know.

‘Until I do know, he was touching my butt and there was no reason for that. I was p****d. I have a really bad temper.

‘I tried to bite my tongue and handle it outside. I thought, ‘just breathe, you’re okay’. He understood to let it go.

‘We got out of the water and I didn’t even know what to say, so I went home to see the footage. Even when we got out of the water he was trying to show off.
