Well the most obvious is the reconstruction on the HSE DVD (its free, just
ask them).

Skipper spots lone diver on surface, has great difficulty in manovering
boat alongside (time). When he does he is unable to lift casualty and the
best he can do is tie on till help (in the form of other divers) arrives.

Would a second pair of hands have a better outcome?
Well the HSE are of the opinion it would.

We dont have the full details, but the fact remains that in those critical
moments after surfacing, a second crew member would have been able to
help the lift and give basic life support.

We are on the RIB tommorrow. Only have 6 divers, but still 2 crew.
