    Think you need to scroll back & read previous discussions. You are creating your own version of how you want a SAR op to be conducted in yoir mind. Ignoring the realities of the South Chika Sea. Good luck,

    Sorry to burst your bubble. I assume you know how SAR ops work: You nor the dive shop nor your brother get fo dictate how SAR ops are conducted by the relevant authorities. You can appeal to them but there is a reason why Malaysia could not conduct night search ops. They "could have" if they...

    Which SAR has night vision capabilities & are able to operate at night in all weather conditions and have FLIR? Only Singapore.

    I have given this a lot of thought over the past 48 hours. 1-The weather patterns have been off whack the past 3 months....we didn't have a dry season over here like we traditionally do in Brunei as well as in Sabah/Sarawak/West Malaysia in January-March. April itself has also been a strange...

    Majority of people on trawlers can barely read/write (indonesians for example) whatmore understand sos signals. It may work with trained tug boat skippers/cargo ship crews maybe....but certainly not with the everyday fisherman out here, esp in the dark. Fishermen here have to contend with a...

    I unfortunately can't do this as I am in the middle of a major audit for my firm but perhaps someone can assist with this.

    Unless you are in the navy and in signals, 99.99% of civilians won't understand morse code.

    Agree BUT, in reality, most boats that ply the area are fishing boats/trawlers from neighbouring countries who do not use VHF radios or beacons (on purpose) and are unlikely to know about a missing diver and will avoid strobe lights in the ocean at nights also on purpose. Just giving an opinion...

    Has happened to me when I assisted a DM on a number of day trips out with inexperienced and new divers who were excited and didn't follow instructions and/or could not handle the currents and were panicking. They were literally all over the place. Literally had to grab both divers by their...

    You are jumping to conclusions without knowing the facts and reasons for the DM actions.

    In hindsight, she should have stayed with the group given there was 14 yr old and an 18 year old in the group and only 1 male adult BUT, we simply do not know what actually transpired so its hard to really nail down who was at fault and what the circumstances were at the time. I have no doubt...

    She needs a good lawyer & should not sit in any interviews without the presence of a lawyer She needs to be clear what transpired, what the plans & arrangements were with said boat captain She needs to submit a report to her dive certification company soonest and to get them roped in asap. She...

    I am more concerned about getting fish bombed at night than getting passed by a trawler at night TBH. Strobe + whistle + flash light are probably a good mix of items to attract attention at night if one is in trouble. I prefer some sort of mini horn you can blast several times to get the...

    They won't. That's the one thing about police investigations in Malaysia. They should get the relevant dive organizations involved (i.e. PADI/SSI) to give a professional opinion and to conduct a professional investigation but....they won't. I hope they prove me wrong./
