Undercover divers find fatal flaws in Egypt’s dive boat industry

Karin Kloosterman -
German magazine stern and broadcaster RTL have confirmed what Green Prophet has reported for months — the sinking of Egypt’s Sea Story dive yacht in November 2024, which killed 11 people, was no freak accident. Their undercover investigation reveals the captain had no licence, the operator lacked legal authorisation, and the vessel had serious stability flaws. A wider probe of 17 Red Sea liveaboard boats found every one had dangerous safety deficiencies, echoing Green Prophet’s earlier coverage of Egypt’s dive tourism safety crisis.

Vegan-Friendly Eco-Lodging: What Makes a Hotel Truly Sustainable?

Bhok Thompson -
Vegan-friendly eco-lodging isn’t a niche—it’s a systems approach.

With transparent metrics and community partnerships, this model scales from boutique hideaways to global brands.

Bhok Thompson -
A huge part of sustainable holidays is where you choose to spend your money. The local communities benefit from tourism, as long as it helps to grow their economy.
