On The Verge of Death: Part II

Less than a year ago, an Egyptian batyscaphe named Sinbad crashed. There were 45 tourists aboard, six of which tragically passed away. This story made a splash in Russian media, since travelling to Egypt is very common here, and all of those tourists were Russian citizens. As I've written in my previous posts, I am not a huge fan of reading news like that, so this story might have passed me by if it weren't for one thing. I've been in that batyscaphe! Three years ago, my family and I had a vacation over there in Hurghada, and we went on a bathyscaphe dive in order to diversify our trip. The glass floor allowed us to see plenty of exquisite fish and even some chunks of sunken ships. It was an interesting experience. After the dive, we received a certificate from that company, which now serves as proof of this story. Only one and a half year later, the very same bathyscaphe would go down, injuring dozens of fellow tourists, mostly parents and children.

Exquisite is an interesting choice here... I would never say it. I feel like it's more used for art? I

It was an interesting experience.

I don't think the original is wrong, but this reads better somehow.

Feedback

Scary. I find it really hard to entrust companies with my life because there is so much negligence around safety protocols.
