Diver lost

Tragic event here yesterday when a diver was lost. I could hear the whole drama unfolding on the radio from the initial report through to the search being called off a few hours later. The team were diving in 32m of water on a wreck close to us, the SS Breda in Ardmucknish Bay, when a 54 year old failed to surface with his buddies. At the first report he had 15 minutes of air left, as time went on and there was no sign of him the tension was palpable as a half hour had passed and there was still no news. The other divers had gone back down with a spare tank but unfortunately there was nothing to report. The surface search went on for a few hours more but today the area is being searched by police and navy divers, all very tragic as later we saw the boat and the individuals being interviewed by the police and coastguard. It is a dangerous pursuit but I guess those who dive know that and accept the risks.  Cambridge News
