Six Russians would be killed on Thursday in the Egyptian holiday disaster – including two children.

Video caught by one of the tourists boarding the submarine shows the moment their jaunt turned into a nightmare.

Water quickly starts to rise around tourists' feet as the craft begins to dive.

They begin to panic and within seconds the holidaymakers are left swimming for their lives.

The hatch of the craft can still be seen open in the clip, suggesting that seawater would have rushed into the vessel.

It's not know how many people were already aboard the submarine.

Six people died while 39 were miraculously rescued after the Sindbad pleasuresubmarine sankoff the Egyptian resort city of Hurghada.

Nine other people were injured in the disaster, including four said to have been critically hurt.

The crew of the sub are now being questioned by Egyptian officials.

Red Sea Governor Amr Hanafy confirmed yesterday the submarine had a valid licence and the crew had all obtained the correct certificates.

One survivor had claimed the vessel submerged with its hatches still open which allowed water to quickly flood in.

Some of those who escaped were able to climb through the open holes to safety.
