Port Island Fatality

Further to yesterday’s report of the drowning near Port Island. There are also reports that wind was blowing the dive boat ashore, and that it was attempting to reposition itself. Unfortunately strong rain and surface swell added to the confusion and several divers may have swum towards the rear of the boat, tragically at the wrong time. There is a discussion on the forum.

Once again, our condolences and sympathy to all involved in this tragedy.
