Two Polish divers dead in Hurghada:

A tragedy occurred off the coast of Hurghada. Two Polish divers drowned in the waters of the Red Sea. We confirmed the information in two independent sources. The incident took place on Sunday. Several people associated with one of the Polish sports clubs took part in the organized diving. Two men (around 50 years old) decided to deep-sea dive (with a rope). The men were to descend to a depth of 70 meters.For unexplained reasons, both Poles were pulled out of the water dead.
 
Nothing official or even semi-official yet, but FB chatter suggest they went to 70m on air.

Link Some sensational information surfaced in this article about what happened after the accident however the valuable info is that the dive centre organizing the dive was Crazy Dolphin from Hurghada and the deceased divers belonged to the VetoNurki diving group consisting of veterinarians who scuba.
 
Dice centre confirmed on their FB that the two deceased divers went to 76m deciding not to ‘follow the instructions in limits of diving.’
