That’s what Germany’s Susanne Andres did when she boarded the M/Y Sea Story on November 24, this yr, a liveaboard diving journey luxurious yacht promising 3 dives a day. Egypt’s Red Sea is essentially the most inhabitants vacation spot on this planet for divers due to its proximity to Europe –– solely a 4-hour aircraft experience to Cairo, then a day bus journey to the seashore city of Marsa Alam, the place Susanne took the final journey of her life out of Port Ghalib.
There have been 33 vacationers onboard, all seasoned divers, anticipating to go on difficult and adventurous dives into the Red Sea coral reefs, with the assistance of a group of 11, divers, cooks and a captain of the boat.

According to some accounts the Navy prevented the rescue divers from going into the boat. According to others the divers have been afraid to go within the water due to the sharks. But they did go in but it surely took 36 hours because the boat began sinking.

After reaching out to the reserving firm (Dive Pro Liveaboard), native divers within the area, some related to the corporate and who’ve native intel, the Navy and the native dive affiliation, nobody was prepared to provide the precise location when the boat first despatched its misery sign.

Sea Story rescue location November 26. Where 5 individuals have been rescued and 4 our bodies have been recovered from a capsized and semi-floating shipwreck referred to as Sea Story.
We did have a diver “insider” reach out to us with the coordinates of the rescue, 36 hours after the boat listed and remained slightly above water. We spoke with a survivor’s daughter and he said his room’s porthole was above the water. The rescue boats following them didn’t give survivors trapped in Sea Story any indication they weren’t alone. No Navy ship blew its horn. In what may very well be a tragic story, if true, one nameless supply mentioned the rescue crew adopted the boat for 3 days after the 5 individuals and 4 our bodies have been pulled from the wreck on November 25. It is feasible individuals have been nonetheless inside alive.
