The friend of two Britons rescued from the sunken diving yacht in the Red Sea says there is “absolutely no reason” why survivors should have been trapped for 30 hours during search efforts by the Egyptian authorities.
Diver Tom Postin said Colin Sharratt, 65, and Sally Jones, 58, were among the 33 people who have so far been rescued following the sinking of the Sea Story vessel, while the employer of another Briton, Tarig Sinada, said he was one of seven people still missing.
