This is an awful accident, yet if you read the news about the rescue efforts, it is really interesting to consider the wreck diving techniques being used. Electricity, fuel spills, unstable structures and the strong likelyhood of the ship rolling even more. Think about what is being done to keep the rescue divers safe.
Many of recreational diving’s best practices were inspired by the technical diving community. The safety stop, jon line, wreck reel and redundent air systems were all innovations born in the technical diving community. Perhaps its time for some info on these tools.
If anyone finds more info on the diving operation, post it up here. We could all learn something from this that will make our own recreational dives safer.
