### 35-Hour Ordeal: Survivors of Red Sea Dive Boat Tragedy Share Their Harrowing Stories

Dive boat survivors recount their grueling escape from the Sea Story, which capsized in the Red Sea, raising questions about safety violations and official responses.


A group of survivors from a tragic Red Sea diving incident shared their terrifying experience of being trapped for 35 hours in darkness, questioning the circumstances surrounding the boat's capsize and the accountability of the involved parties.

The Sea Story, an Egyptian luxury dive boat, sank on the night of November 25, 2022, claiming the lives of at least 11 individuals while 35 were rescued. Survivors reported feeling unprepared and unprotected, with many citing safety failings of Dive Pro Liveaboard, the operator responsible for the boat. Eyewitness accounts and expert analysis have cast doubt on the official explanation of the incident—attributed to a large wave—and pointed towards possible operator negligence.

Lucianna Galetta recalls the harrowing moments trapped in a dark air pocket, alongside her partner and a dive instructor. Despite expressing their gratitude for surviving, they demand answers about safety protocols. Similarly, Sarah Martin, an NHS doctor, and Hissora Gonzalez, an experienced diver, recounted the chaotic scene of the boat capsizing, noting how unsecured furniture contributed to the hazards they faced.

An oceanographer later confirmed that weather conditions at the time did not support the narrative that a 4-meter wave caused the sinking, further bolstering survivor doubts about the account given by Egyptian authorities. As investigations continue, survivors seek not only closure but also justice for those who lost their lives.

The case of the Sea Story highlights potential systemic safety issues within Egypt's diving industry, prompting calls for more stringent regulations to prevent future tragedies. Survivors, including friends of those who perished, are vigorously urging for accountability and improvements in marine safety protocols.
