I saw the title of the thread and my heart sank, but how brilliant to read a happy ending for a change.

Must have been a bloody awful 20 hours though!



(EDIT: tsk... now the threads have been merged my post makes no bloody sense!)

Very lucky indeed! A good result!


I'm guessing that SMBs and whistles aren't standard kit for diving in that part of the world? Might have helped in this situation.

Not that happy

He has upset the Australians by selling his story and they are asking him to foot the bill for their rescue. I hope they have good insurance.

I can see that point, but perhaps the boat that lost them would be a better place to start. They were, according to the story, using whistles, although one might surmise that by surfacing 200m from a moored vessel they had mucked up in the first place.

Sharks, poisinous snakes, oxygen tanks..... What a load of crock. I think it was good how they reacted during the ordeal, kept thinking a torch would have helped greatly during the night rescue. I think it is despicable to sell their story, one thing is to tell the story and another to sell it. Didn't see a word of thanks to their rescuers
