The shocking sinking of a tourist submarine in Egypt that claimed the lives six people yesterday bore chilling echoes of another catastrophe in the same spot just over a decade ago.
A tourist submarine disaster in the Red Sea, near Hurghada, Egypt, killed six people, mainly Russians including children, mirroring a similar 2012 incident at the same location where a German family died. Concerns are rising about tourist safety in the Red Sea due to lax safety regulations, poorly trained crews, defective equipment on dive vessels, and dangerous marine life like sharks, sparking fears that British tourists are being endangered by Egyptian guides.
