    Unknown Helicopter winches rock stranded divers - Scotland

    An interesting problem, the argument that charging people for being rescued either financially or with criminal charges for being stupid enough to put themselves at risk would result in people not calling for help is valid. On the other hand going out in conditions that an RNLI lifeboat crew...

    Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning

    This is tragic but worth watching for anyone who is around water, if only to see how quickly someone can drown

    DCS and the Sci-Fi TV Show "Silo"

    Not having seen the show I can’t really picture what you are describing, but I will take a punt here, Bridge workers got bent because the caissons they were working in were pressurised to keep the water out and after a full days work they were returned straight to the surface without...

    Nautilus Lifeline Work In Coz?

    The Nautilus web site is incorrect. You can still buy VHF radios in Australia and New Zealand that do not have a DSC function. As rjack321 pointed out there are a whole lot of places where charter dive boats don’t have radios. Chuuk and Bali come to mind.
