Three Brits have been reported missing after a luxury boat burst into flames in the Red Sea. The scuba diving boat was carrying 29 people and was headed to the Marsa Alam region of Egypt in the southern part of the Red Sea.
A spokesperson for the operator told the Mirror that the blaze broke out during the diving briefing, as the passengers were preparing to explore the pristine waters. They said: "Today at 6.30 am at Elphinstone, while doing the diving briefing, [the] Hurricane caught fire. Its website adds: "Hurricane has long history of sailing the southern Red Sea. This steel hulled liveaboard makes for a stable home for a week, cruising some of the Red Sea's most famous and beloved dive sites." The ship is just under 120ft long, with 11 en-suite, air-conditioned cabins split between two decks.
