Be aware of underwater workers in a marina environment revie

Post by Bruce »

A 164' Westport at Old Port Cove Marina in NPB Fla on Tuesday was the scene of a divers death when he was sucked into the bow thruster while cleaning the hull.

Now in the height of boating every where, it's not always evident of someone below, especially on a large yacht who's diver scraping sounds are drowned out by pumps running and water flows over the side.

It will be interesting when the final report comes out who or what is at fault.

Diver under wrong boat, crew not notified of a diver working as a crew of a 164' yacht usually has a min crew of 8.

Damn, I may have nightmares about that! Sounds like something out of a James Bond movie! You need another tender on the boat to make sure no one turns anything on!
