Question Egypt Safety due ongoing War in the region

[BoltSnap]

I didn't intend to imply that the attack meant it was unsafe to dive in the Egyptian Red Sea. I did look at a map, and that's why I stated that the attack was at the southern end of the region. My post was solely meant to inform. Apologies.

You gotta think in positive terms, more wrecks to dive in the future

I’m 6’5” pasty white and barely speak English (also don’t know any other language) I’m not going anywhere near a volatile area involving terrorists who by their very nature are asymeitrical In tactics. this isn’t “crime” in its normal forms where the perps want to survive at any cost.

ya’ll can go where you want and do what you want but don’t whine to the rest of us if your boat is hit with a rocket or assaulted on open water.

You probably also just want to inform... The Achille Lauro hijack was from Alexandria = Mediterranean Sea and 38 years ago.

Now that you mention it, Americans should not be ANYWHERE near Africa, Middle East, Europe and Asia!!!! They all had or have wars. South/Latin America is spotty at best.

I just measured the distance between Yemen and Marsa Alam, almost 1700km and the distance between Kyiv and Berlin is about 1200Km. Americans should really stay at home.

Yes but that was the other way around. Still, it sure made the region unsafe.

I am not sure if the crusaders harassed diver in the red sea
