A question for all of you PSD divers out there. I have been following the news about the ferry that just sunk in the Philipines. There has been talk of sending rescue divers in the the water have a look around to see if anyone is alive. Having a diver enter a very large ship that is floating upside down seems like a very iffy idea at best. Not saying that those who might be alive inside aren't worth every effort to save. Just the thought of an overhead sinking enviroment scares me a bit.
From the pics in one thread, it looks like that big ship is pretty close to shore. I am not sure what the bottom looks like or how deep the water is.
How would an operation like this even begin to take shape? What does the PSD team have to consider as they plan something like this?
How would they handle removing people if they were found alive in an air pocket?
