Marsa Allam city council chairman General Atef Wagdy told AFP that the authorities are coordinating the transfer of the body to the Czech Embassy, to return the man's remains to his family.
"There is no problem in diving" around Marsa Allam, but people who swim on the surface in deep waters beyond the coral may be vulnerable to attack, he added.
The man is the third shark attack victim in the region. Attacks in 2010 and 2015, claimed the lives of German tourists.
