Re: Tech.s to clear up fishnets entangled on a Wreck

Thanks Steve!

When i started to read a "lift bag on one end", my concern was the possibility of one or more divers getting caught on huge ghost net, being shoot towards the surface.
There are a lot of nets down there, some older than others, and therefore with some tension they can tear appart, while other parts won´t.

I would like to avoid creating a "curtain" of fishing nets ready to go top side.
One rip, and there it goes! Or stronger currents, low viz, and we have a deadly trap specially if someone else decides to go to that wreck (outside our team) not knowing what is being done.

Yup, keeping it simpler than usual, diminuishing all possible edges, scisors and cirurgical or those special blades (rather cheap) to cut carpets.(sorry can´t remember it´s proper name).

If the nets will be either kept on mesh bags, or wrapped, i hope than it won´t cause a lot of mess when surface; after all, in either situations their rapped on portions and secured.
No probs at all...every job is different too. Mine was a smallish wreck in about 20m of crystal clear water off Oman in the Middle East. We got the recently shared net off in one day's work with a team of 6 divers.

Quite agree that it is not the appropriate method in lousy vis etc.

Why do you need to remove the net by the way?
