The Egyptian dive guides are often pretty good freedivers, especially when they started out as boat boys, they often freedive every day to fasten ropes to the reef.

Still, deciding that the guide should not try does not even make sense if there was only a 5% chance he'd make it, from the two tourists point of view.
