Source of italian tour operators federation claim there have been NO italian and NO french casualties (just three italians lightly injured by now). I just hope it's a reliable source as it's supposed to be. Seems to me good news worth to be posted.

Hi Stephan,
Do you think someone could start a chain, calling different hotels to gather names of the people being ok or not outthere.. I reckon there are a lot of worried families.... Just a thought !
And you seem to know a lot of people !
Cheers,
Brian.

Dreadful news. I was in Dahab only two days ago (left on Saturday) diving mostly with some freediving on the side. I recognise all the places mentioned as I walked past them every day for the last week.
I would like to know of any news about the Poseidon dive centre staff and guests, many of whom I was diving with all of last week - great people that I hope are okay. Their shop is set back from the street but very very close to two of the sites reported on the news.
Google news (http://news.google.co.uk/) provides a useful portal to access the latest news stories.
Thoughts are with everyone affected,
Adrian

i just want to tell you that you shouldn't be worried if you don't get any phone calls. the lines at the moment are very busy, i couldn't get hold of any of my friends here. also a lot of people try to find their friends here first.
i'm sure they'll be contacting you shortly,
if you have any details of where they stay, telephone number, etc i will see what i can find out.
we went to the local hospital as well but all injured were already being sent to sharm el sheikh. they have some proper hospitals there and the capacity.
what a fucking drama...
at least turtle fred (fred stone) is fine and annelie is still in sweden.

... yeah What a Fu##""¤ nightmare !!!
And thanks man...
Well the situation is! Noone knows where they are staying in Dahab besides themselves... I´m watching their 2 cats while they are down there diving (mostly snorkle) Freediving and they Left their phones at home !!!!
I called different hotels to check, and nothing.. even started a chat/reallife chain, and we did find 2 austrians that where gone missing
They are suppose to fly home tomorrow ! so at noonish I will know if they are ok !
But in case they are : Rikke Heide Jensen and Lars Petersen
They tend to make alot of friends whereever they go !
The Danish Foreign Ministry reported them missing.. and well I am worried! Cause well,, there is always emails or some phone at some point.. I could get thru,.. so should they... but thanks for calming me down...
Hope you are ok downthere...

Unfucking believable. It brings up so much hate in me for the fu*^%%$ers. I am normaly a peacefull person but this type of thing realy gets to me.
Fu&^%&*^%ing cowards.
Good to hear most people I know are ok. And my hopes go for all the others still unheared off. And my hard goes out for all the victims.
I am lost now and don't know what to do. IN 2,5 weeks i was planning on going with 2 buddys to Sharm for Umberto's course ,but I have to rethink this whole thing........

I also have a trip to Dahab planned for later in the year.
A friend reminded me that history shows that terrorists tend not to attack the same place twice in quick succession, because after the 1st attack, no tourists want to go, so it is often not worth it for the terrorists... so, the attack may actually mean that it is less likely that Dahab/Sharm will be attacked in the near future...
I keep telling myself that to reassure myself!
Condolences to all the injured....
(Blue Spirit 2006 + Umberto's Course + AIDA Worlds --> all in Egypt this year...)

I have spent some time in bombed areas and other political targets. First of all, deciding not to go hurts the actual good people that rely on your business. Second, the terrorists win if you cave in to their fear. Thirdly, Eric F is correct, for the reason given and the fact that security goes through the roof for a year or so.
If I had a ticket for next week, I'd be more determined to go than ever.
Peace amigos,
Erik Y.

Dear all
I spoke with Peter Ericson this morning. Brigitte Hauenstein, our Swiss freediving friend is wounded severly. She has been taken to the clinic in Cairo, just as Sam Still. Emergency organisation is up and running.
