Nottinghamshire man saves father from capsized ship during holiday in Red Sea

A Nottinghamshire father and son say they are lucky to be alive after their liveaboard yacht capsized in the Red Sea. David, 53, and his 21-year-old son Christian, both of Treadwell, near Retford, had booked a week-long diving excursion.

During the trip a total of 26 guests lived aboard the Carlton Queen, which took them around the locality of Egypt. The pair have been diving since 2014, and have a lot of experience doing so.

David explained that the trip was supposed to be a week of "eating, sleeping, diving and repeat." However, when he boarded the boat, he noticed there was something "unorthodox" about the Carlton Fleet's vessel reports Lincolnshire Live.
