Several Red Sea dive boats were damaged or destroyed while in a Suez dry dock over the weekend. The fire appears to have broken out in the dry dock on January 30th and was fueled by high winds in the area. According to a Wetpixel reader, the boats affected were the Aquators Hyatt, the Tornado Marine Fleet’s Typhoon, MY Sweet Dream and VIP-One.
In the meantime, dive operators are accommodating booked passengers onto alternative liveaboards in the meantime.
