In April 2023, a holiday dive boat sank to the bottom of the Red Sea. The Carlton Queen, a 138-foot (42m) vessel, had recently undergone refurbishment and was sailing in what were described as ‘calm conditions’ when it capsized off the coast of Hurghada.

It happened in an area of the Red Sea known as the Egyptian Bermuda Triangle – a navigation hazard due to its exposed location. Thankfully, all 35 on board the Carlton Queen managed to escape, but exactly why the boat capsized remains unexplained.
