Nottinghamshire dad's 'dread' as he and son became trapped in capsizing yacht on holiday

A Nottinghamshire dad has described a feeling of "dread" as he and his son became trapped on a capsizing yacht whilst on holiday in Egypt. Video footage has emerged showing a group of 26 tourists from around the world diving of a sinking yacht during a diving trip last month.

The footage shows the group on board the 137ft ship as it tilts and slips into the ocean, with people screaming as some throw themselves off into the sea near Hurghada, in the Red Sea, close to the entrance of the Suez Canal. The area has been dubbed the Egyptian Bermuda Triangle.

The ship capsized on April 24, with 53-year-old David Taylor being one of those on board, the Mirror reports. Mr Taylor says he first knew something was wrong when he woke up and could see fish swimming outside his cabin's window.
