Hi all,
I write this post in the hope that any budding divers etc, recently qualified divers...actually all divers....will take heed.
A Fellow instructor was in Wales last week doing his first rebreather course.
On the fourth day they were asked to help search for two missing divers, who subsequently were sadly found deceased in the engine room of a wreck in a sunken artificial reef at approx 30m, after running out of air.
These divers were moderatley experienced, yet when found, their torches were still in their pockets and they were not equipped with reels.
This is another example of a tragic diving fatality that could have been avoided, by divers simply keeping within their comfort zone and not diving beyond their capabilities.
This is not meant to scare any would be or new divers, but simply to ask everyone to remember the basics.
Please, dive safe EVERYONE!
If this post has made one person think twice, it's done it's job.
Thanks
Dave
