Err he's one-handed cause he's using the other hand to try and hold onto
the diver bobbing about in the water. Yes he might have a boothook,
line, clip etc, but worse case is that he's managed to grab hold and is now
trying to get diver (minus kit) in a place of safety.
There is a video (I think it's a HSE one) of a skipper on a boat in Scotland
that had no lift and was unable to get a loan diver back onboard. He was
hanging on one handed from the bottom of the ladder and no crew on boat.
Eventually when some of the rest surfaced they dekitted and got him out,
but sadly too late. I'll try and find the name of it, makes sobering watching.
