Refloating 2

(continuation)


Mananahong or local scuba divers from the Philippines learned diving through experience but they dont have any knowledge about decompression since most of them are diving only on the safe zone. So they dive without worrying of bends and they dont even know what it is. They only use air compressor to supply air below and they never used scuba diving gears like scuba tanks, wet suits but they use improvised fins made out of marine plywood and improvised facemask.

This fishing company hired them to dive down 210 feet below to install the bouy and to refloat the fishing vessel. Five divers died in that operation and 2 got hospitalised suffering from bends. Before that happens they succesfuly installed bouys but the refloating operation was not succesful. Bouys were installed but it is a potential danger above since it will serve as torpedoes if anything happens to the cable between the bouy and the sunken ship.

Our friend from the this fishing company called us and ask if we can do the job.
That is how we got the scuba diving trip to Sulu.
