<p>British holiday companies have cancelled all water sports and boat trips in an Egyptian resort following shark attacks that have left several people seriously injured and one woman dead.</p>
<p>Thomson and First Choice also advised its holidaymakers to stay out of the water in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.</p>
<p>The action comes after a warning by the Foreign Office (FO) for holidaymakers to be on their guard at the resort &#8211; one of the most popular winter sun destinations for Britons.</p>
<p>An elderly German tourist died after she was attacked by an oceanic white tip shark in Sharm el-Sheikh a few days after three Russians and a Ukrainian tourist were badly mauled in similar attacks.</p>
<p>Thomson and First Choice said: &#8220;We are advising all our customers in Sharm el-Sheikh that diving and watersport activities are suspended.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our teams in the resort are advising all customers to refrain from going into the sea. We are also cancelling all water-based excursions in the Sharm el-Sheikh area until further notice. We are continuing to monitor the situation and will update customers accordingly.&#8221;</p>
<p>On its website the Foreign Office said: &#8220;Attacks by oceanic white tip sharks are extremely rare and shark attacks of any kind are very unusual in the Red Sea.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you are considering diving or snorkelling in any of the Red Sea resorts be aware that safety standards of diving operators can vary considerably.</p>
<p>&#8220;A basic rule is never to dive or snorkel unaccompanied. Where possible make any bookings through your tour representative.</p>
<p>&#8220;Unusually cheap operators may not provide adequate safety and insurance standards.&#8221;</p>
