**Survivors Share Harrowing Tales After Red Sea Dive Boat Disaster**

**Trapped for 35 hours, the survivors of Sea Story recount their terrifying experience amidst accusations against the vessel's operator.**


**Amidst confusion and danger, a group of survivors from the ill-fated Sea Story dive boat provide chilling details of their ordeal, casting doubt on official explanations about the tragedy.**



Spending 35 hours trapped in pitch-black darkness has left Lucianna Galetta, one of the last survivors of the Sea Story tragedy, grappling with the emotional toll of her experience. As she recalls the harrowing moments after the Egyptian dive boat sank in the Red Sea on November 25, 2022, her voice quivers with fear and disbelief. "By the end, I was just wondering how I would prefer to die," she admits. Captured in a brief video she managed to film, Lucianna shares the darkened air pocket where she thought her life might abruptly end.

Luciana's harrowing rescue was just one of 35 survivors taken from the wreckage of the Sea Story, which claimed the lives of up to 11 individuals, including British tourists Jenny Cawson and Tarig Sinada. Initial reports from Egyptian authorities indicated that a wave reaching heights of 4 meters (13 feet) was responsible for the sinking. However, interviews with numerous survivors have revealed suspicions about the validity of this explanation, a sentiment echoed by oceanographers analyzing the weather conditions at the time.

In their accounts, survivors have accused Dive Pro Liveaboard, the operator of the ill-fated vessel, of neglecting crucial safety protocols, claiming that a combination of crew errors and failures in the design of the boat contributed significantly to the disaster. As attempts to contact Dive Pro Liveaboard and the Egyptian government for comments remain unanswered, the survivors’ stories serve as the first detailed account of how the events unfolded that fateful night.

The Sea Story set sail from Port Ghaleb just one day prior to the catastrophic incident, carrying a mix of 31 guests and 12 crew members. Lucianna recalls her first impressions of the boat: "It looked like a really nice boat, very big, very clean." At that point, passengers were unaware of any potential dangers. As conditions worsened and remaining boat stability became evident, several people noticed alarming signs—furniture sliding about the deck and the crew struggling as a small inflatable boat slipped overboard.

The chaotic moments leading to the capsizing around 03:00 were marked by darkness and confusion as the ship careened over with an explosive rupture of sound. Survivors reported being thrown from their beds, frantically trying to evacuate amidst disorienting darkness and debris blocking their escape. Each story echoes a dire struggle for survival, as cabin doors shifted to ceilings and exits vanished in chaos.

Many of those inside the boat found themselves trapped in a precarious fight for survival—a battle that would finally culminate in daring attempts to escape via emergency staircases and upper-deck leaps into the unforgiving waters below. Amidst this, other brave passengers risked their safety to help, as survivors fought their way to life rafts that proved inadequate when it came to safety equipment.

After 35 hours of near hopelessness, Lucianna was finally freed by a diving instructor exploring the wreck who maneuvered through the flooded corridors of the boat to reach her. Only then did the real sense of relief wash over her. Despite being saved, Lucianna and other survivors couldn't shake feelings of despair with the loss of their fellow companions, including the couple from Devon, who have yet to be found.

The tragic event has sparked widespread apprehension about the safety of diving excursions in the region. Calls for investigations have been echoed by friends and family of missing individuals, seeking answers and accountability in the wake of a disaster that devastated so many lives.

As the investigation proceeds, the dialogue surrounding boat safety and regulations remains pertinent, with survivors calling for systematic changes so that events like the Sea Story tragedy are never repeated. The survivors’ hope lies in honoring those who were lost by ensuring safety standards are reinforced, protecting the lives of future adventurers on the water.
