RED SEA, Egypt (6 Apr 2007) -- A Russian man died scuba diving in Egypt exactly three months after two Russian tourists disappeared while scuba diving in the Red Sea off Marsa Alam.

Yevgeny Skvortsov, 36, went to Egypt on April 5 to train in technical diving.

During his scuba diving course, something went wrong and he surfaced "choking" according to the Russian embassy in Cairo.

On January 6, Russian tourists Dmitry Kapitonov and Yelena Sundukova disappeared while scuba diving in strong currents off Marsa Alam.

Two other divers in the group, Dutch tourist Michel van Assendeof and Eygyptian dive guide Mahmoud Ahmed Hamdan, also disappeared.

Despite a massive four-day air and sea rescue effort, the missing divers were never found.

A fifth diver in the group, Russian tourist Vladislav Lukyanchenko, survived after swimming for three hours before he reached shore, lost consciousness and was rushed to hospital.
