The dive industry is covering up accidents...Mike B - Rescue Diver/Consultant
October 15, 2007 at 21:07:57There seems to be a concious effort
from Egypt to suppress fatalities that occur. Two weeks ago around Monday 1st Oct, moored at Beacon Rock - aka Dunraven - myself and club members saw a diver being lifted back aboard the MY Juliet from its tender. it was confirmed later from our skipper (talking to Juliet) that she had died. This seen with our own eyes brought a sobering moment as to the fact that scuba diving as a sport has an elevated risk. Two days later our guide said someone had taken a hit and died
down at the Brothers aboard Typhoon - whether this was accurate is something i cannot vouch for. scouring the news for information on the Juliet event has brought up nothing, whilst i understand there are coroner's duties to be performed and of course the families - the lack of even a acknowledgement that these events took place begs the question what else is not being reported. |
