Just came across this thread now, and reading the posts on this sad event was captivating. As I have had the fortunate opportunity to have met and briefly trained with most of you, the adrenaline was pumping just reading about it. You are all VERY Talented CCR Divers, and I am glad to have met you. Great Job! God Bless! My condolances to the family.

Just as an update, Daniels body was removed from the wreck by RCMP divers on surface supply yesterday afternoon. Almost a week after he was found. I guess it has to be done a certain way.

I'll bet tying up a dive boat and 20 people (divers, support, crew) for 6 days cost way more than purchasing a handful of megs and training their divers to use them.

Sounds like your government gets their efficiency training at the same place as ours.

There is a methodology behind the madness. Control and safety is the biggest reason for the rules and regulation set out for such government agencies. While these organizations are classified as "professional divers" it doesnt make them expert/proficient divers. To expect them to be is a unreasonable expectation. I do stand behind the procedures in which such organizations conduct diving operations.

Hyper-limits

The equipments and techniques used by organization such as the RCMP are not always the best for this kind of search, but most of the time it works just find. A side from the short bottom time that the RCMP divers had to do because of their "no Deco" SOP, I feel that what gave you the edge to find Daniel's body quickly was your knowledge of the wreck. That knowledge can only be gained by spending a lot of time on the ship above water and later on diving the wreck.

Cheers

Yes, you are right there. this go's with the second problem about training
I had mentioned earlier, there is at the moment no way to combine an outside
agency's procedures and protocols with theirs,( it is done their way or no way)
so, we have a recovery that took 6 days instead of 6 hours.



all the best.
