One British holidaymaker, an ex-army veteran, who was on board at the time said the boat flipped after the speedboat pulling it along ‘bombed out’ on the water, the Sun reported.
The incident took place a week after fellow British tourists John and Susan Cooper died suddenly at the five-star Steigenberger Aqua Magic hotel.
The group had been on a dolphin-watching tour just before the tragic accident.
The man told the Sun: ‘I could hear the woman’s daughter wailing, as she knew that there was something seriously wrong with her mum.
‘They got the lady back on an they were doing chest compressions, but at no point were there any breaths given.
‘I’m screaming at them “open her airways” but they pushed me back.’

Thomas Cook have suspended the dolphin-watching tour the group were on while they investigate.
A Thomas Cook spokesman told the Sun: ‘We can confirm that one of our customers sadly died last week while on an excursion in Egypt.

‘We would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family, and our welfare team continue to do all they can to support them at this time.
‘We are urgently investigating what happened.’
A Foreign Office spokesman said: ‘Our staff are assisting the family of a British woman who has died in Hurghada.’
Mr and Mrs Cooper stayed next to a room that had been fumigated just hours before, raising fears they may have been poisoned by toxic gases.
Pest controllers sprayed chemicals into the room on August 20, the day before Susan and John Cooper died.
The couple’s daughter Kelly Ormerod reported a strange smell in her parents’ room at the five-star hotel at the Red Sea resort of Hurghada in the hours before they died. Kelly’s daughter had intended to stay the night with her grandparents but returned to her mother’s room due to the odour.
