I know that some schools offer scientific diving certifications, especially through the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS). I don't know what sort of thing is available to you in Egypt. If you can find a program like that, it should be your first choice.

Here are some links that may give you ideas. These are all American, but other countries have them as well. I could not find any in Egypt.
