Sheba, here is the link the the BBC news about the incident.

Our thoughts are with the divers and hope they are found very soon

I totally echo Altomans comments but doesn't
A search is under way for four divers missing since Saturday in the shark-infested waters of the Red Sea, Egyptian officials have said.
seem a ridiculous thing for the BBC to say?

Another web site which is probably less sensational headlines than the BBC. However still no word on if they have been found yet.

I had nt heard of this except for a brief mention yesterday on another forum. I see though that the CDNN are reporting that another Russian diver died the same day, also in Marsa Alam, but in a completely seperate incident.

The latest is the search has been called off with-out finding them by the local authorities. However it appears the relations of the Dutch diver have offered a reward if any body finds them as an inducment to continue the search.

Has anyone heard any more about the missing divers?

Ther is no news coming out on any of the diving web site so it looks like bad news.
