Another sad day in Tonga with another funeral today for a local Tongan, who has died Scuba diving for treasure. We have no details of the accident yet. There are many wrecks in Tonga and most have never been surveyed. This accident took place in EUA. Some wrecks are in challenging situations, but others are an easy scuba dive. The temptations are great, but the risks are high, with many Tongans lacking appropriate training and equipment. Worse is the fact, that often these wreck sites are damaged forever by plundering and the items recovered "dissapear", bringing no benefit to the locals and ruining historic sites. After three years of planning and preperation, we are about to start working with the Locals of Tonga and with the support of the Royal Family and with Government permits, to "recover, conserve and protect" these priceless national maritime heritage sites for the benefit of all people in the Kindom of Tonga. WE can only offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased diver on this sad day.
A few months ago another Tongan diver was "Bent" and is now having serious medicle complications.
