This hasn't been a good week for divers in the Red Sea. Last weekend, four divers (two Russians, a Hollander, and an Egyptian) vanished while diving at Marsa Alam. Yesterday, another Russian diver died. According to police, Alexander Nikitan was found dead on Monday near the shore at Ras Mohammed. Apparently, Nikitan ignored the warning to divers not to dive below 180 feet and, instead, descended to 300 feet, where he ran out of air.Russian Diver Dies After Diving to 300 Feet
