I would like to discuss my scuba diving experience in Sulu Sea for refloating a vessel from one of the biggest fishing company here in the Philippines.
One of their old fishing vessel sank and they would like to hire us to salvage it hoping that they can still use it again.
Their fishing vessel starts in Manila on Monday and goes to Palawan or Sulu Sea near Zamboanga in Mindanao and goes back to Manila around Friday to drop all the captured fish in Navotas. But one of their vessel sank in the middle of Sulu Sea with more or less 200 feet or around 60 meters deep. That is the maximum depth reachable by a French level 3 diver accompanied by another level 3 diver, breathing air.
One of their helper happens to be our friend and recommends us to do the diving job. He knew about the sunken vessel and heard about the job order but he just ignore it before. But the team leader of the project wanted to resolve it as soon as possible. To get the job done in the most economical way, he decided to hire "mananahong" or scuba divers from the Philippines that use air compressor and a hose to supply air below. They thought commercial divers are too expensive to hire.
(To be continued tomorrow)
