Diving in Jordan, Sudan, and Egypt is perfectly fine from a security point of few. I was in Sharm just a couple of weeks ago and earlier in the year as well. There is much unnecessary media hype and nonsense regarding this... and some of the silly State Department warnings and the like from Foreign Ministries of other countries.
Facilities in Jordan and Egypt (especially Dahab and Sharm) are top notch and there are excellent medical facilities that cater specifically to diving. Infrastructure for tourism is highly developed and there are a wide range of comforts to suit every level... from roughing it backpackers style, to eco villages, to high end establishments like the Four Season, Hyatt, etc..
The
vast majority of diving in Egypt is largely done on day boats and off of the shore, but of course there are numerous excellent high-end liveaboards for the more remote regions of the Red Sea.
I'm sorry but your article is not very accurate and a little misleading.

In link, which you provided it says that some attacks were organized by --Egyptian Bedouins--
It might be no rocket attacks in Hurhhada, but around you can be stopped and murder and it continuously happened.
For local Bedouins it is doesn't matter if you American, Germany or Russian, they exchange tourists to they people from Egypt prisons or for money.
OH PLEASE!! That can happen to you walking in the street of any major US city or around the world. What about the psychos who walk into movie theaters, shopping malls and Schools n the US and start shooting people at Random ??!! Crime exists everywhere and in every society. The vast majority of local Beduoins are extremely friendly and hospitable to foreigners.
Please do not try to make unfair and generalized statements regarding a group of people or a culture you clearly do not understand.
