No,not really. I was disgusted that a BSAC BRANCH CHAIRMAN had the bollocks to write such a letter without getting his facts right in the first place. ie the HSE bit.

Just got me wondering what the divers on YD thought about the subject, thats all.

And the CoP's & after ME getting advise fro the MCA say . Crewman must be over the age of 16, be able to launch the liferaft, be able to give a safety briefing and hold a ML 5 ( Seamans medical )

That means paying someone and passing the cost onto the Divers.
