Footage has revealed what it looked like inside the tourist submarine which sank off the coast of Egypt this morning.

Earlier today (27 March), it was confirmed that a submarine carrying 45 tourists and five crew members had sank in the Red Sea, near the city of Hurghada.

Six people have since been confirmed to have died, while a further nine passengers are said to be injured, four of which are in a critical condition.

Egypt's Red Sea governor, Amr Hanafy, has since confirmed that the six deceased tourists were all Russian nationals, while the nationalities of the other passengers included India, Norway and Sweden, the BBC reports.

Five Egyptian nationals were also onboard. Reports also added that the remaining 29 passengers were rescued.

Promotional footage taken from inside the tourist submarine prior to the incident is now circulating online, with the clips showing families boarding the vessel and enjoying views of aquatic life from as deep as 80ft (25 metres) beneath the ocean.

In one clip, several young children are peering out of a window, while a family watch the fish swim from a circular window in another.

Meanwhile, other clips also show scuba divers interacting with the fish in order to entertain tourists, as well as passengers boarding and disembarking the submarine via boat.

The Sindbad Submarines website adds that passengers will be able to see the 'beauty' of the Red Sea's coral reef and underwater inhabitants.

It adds that the submarines are engineered in Finland to 'sustain underwater pressure up to 75m, ensuring safety and reliability'.

Officials are yet to confirm the cause of the submarine's sinking.

This isn't the first time which a tragedy has occurred in Egypt's Red Sea region, with a boat named Sea Story sinking off the coast of popular tourist spot Shaab Satayah last November, with 11 dead or missing and 35 survivors.

LADbible Group has previously contacted Sindbad Submarines for comment.
