He was also not picked up by the Polish ships crash boat. They stood by him until the dive boat reached him,but he was left in the water.He's fine.

These will be my only words on the matter.


Just for the record and at the request of Alan, i would like to state that I WAS not on scene or in any position past the English Inshore traffic Zone

Hi Mate.

I was on the pontoon chatting to my diver that was potted last night.

My radio was on channel 16,74... whilst my spare was on on scan .... and was getting live feed back from the charter skippers that were at sea closer to you.

2 things ...
I could hear Dover and Cap Griz Nez traffic clear as a bell and well as the French chopper & the Polish ship.
I was told on my MOBILE , that your diver was picked up by a Polish ship.


All that matters is that the diver is alive , safe and well AND
that the coastguards are there to help,,,,,, Speak to them , they don't bite.... Unless you have something to hide.


p.s

YD's Humber Coastguard.... can you please verify that the info that is displayed on the MCA website is taken from the incident reports that are recieved from the MRCC's / MRSC's daily incident running log's ... ?

To fellow YD'ers , online live computer incidents as it happens which can be accessed form any coastguard station and HQ .

Think i'm correct in saying that.
