The report said that six people, all Russian, died after the tourist vessel sank around one kilometer from the coast. The local governor said 39 tourists were rescued, and nobody is missing.
The 45 tourists were from Russia, Norway, Sweden and India, the governor said, along with five Egyptian crew members. The company in charge, Sindbad, has cancelled upcoming trips and authorities are investigating. A number of people have got in touch with the BBC to share their experiences on Sindbad submarine

A survivor said that as they took their reserved seats, water started "pouring in" as two hatches were open. She said it was as if the submarine had fallen off "whatever it was holding on to". There was no exact explanation as to the cause of the sink. But other unconfirmed reports said the vessel hit a reef at 20 meters and lost pressure.

Probably proper checks was not made to ensure everything was okay, this is one reasons I won't want to go to places like this in the name of going on a tour.
