There was a dive-accident on January 6th, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. in Red Sea at reef Elfinstone (25 km to north-east from the seaside resort Marsa Alam). Four divers still have not been found. The missing divers are: Dutch Michel van Assendelft, PADI Advanced Open Water Diver; Russian Dmitry Kapitonov, PADI Open Water Diver; Russian Elena Sundukova, PADI Instructor; and Egyptian Mahmoud Ahmed Hamdan, dive guide. (Egyptian, Dutch and 2 Russians).
Relatives of the missing divers fixed a reward for discovering these peoples or their bodies at the rate of $10 000 : http://www.webdive.ru/help.php
We know there was a boat or yacht near Elfinstone at that time, presumably with divers onboard. Those guys may help us to get urgent information on that accident.
PLEASE contact us if you know them or something about that yacht.
PLEASE contact us if you know anything about people found at the Red Sea coast, any unidentified patients / bodies at hospitals or any kind of diving equipment (especially in Sudan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia), or another useful information about the accident.
