The ship was the Panorama Explorer owned by Said Sakar (hope I did not mis spell it).
She was sunk near Saint Jones at 6AM.


All divers & crew are safe & okay !!!

I think the Panorama Explorer is operated by Oonas Divers. Am I right?
Would you give us some detailed info about the trip and the incident?

Local newspapers said the ship (brand new) sunk in the early morning becuase it got- how surprising- flooded with water. The pumps were stucked with wooden debris and could not operate.

The Egyptian crew was highly appraised for helping the passengers and rescuing them to other ships that were anchoring nearby.

In total, 21 persons were rescued and they chose to continue the safari on other boats. Yep, what an adventure.

Also, it was said the owner was on board as well as some periodists and a famous restaurant chef...

There was a sort of crack/problem in the diving platform in the back and the water started entering the engines compartment and couldn't be stopped. There is a plan to lift it up again and repair it !
