stephenm:Hello all.
My name is Stephen, I am Danielle Gibbons brother in-law. She is the other diver missing with Dan Greiner.
We are trying to find a specific location. If the following description rings any bells for anyone, please contact me directly. We have not give up hope for their safe return but time is our enemy.
I am trying to find a specific location in Fiji with these characteristics. I know the info is obscure but we are trying to use it to locate Dan Greiner and Danielle Gibbons, two divers who went missing in Fijian waters last week.
A small uninhabited island, possibly in the Bligh Waters up towards the Yasawa Island group. The island is quite flat with dense vegetation and coconut trees. The beaches of the island are covered in high tides.
The island has a well-known but not often visited tidal-coral reef point which is a breeding ground for tiger or bull sharks.
Sea turtles nest at this island and there is a sea-bird colony on it.
The island may be in a loose group of 2-3 islands with a passage in between them used occasionally by the locals in their journeys.
Please email me directly if this rings any bells for anyone. You can also call me in Australia on +61 2 9665 5867. Time is critical.
with thanks
Stephen M
We will if any dogs can be found-we have been on that idea since we got involved.But we are listening to all of "your" good ideas and tips (we did get a hold of Ben in Quamea)-keep them coming in. There's still alot of area to search as efficiently as possible with very limited funds.Both we and the search parties in Fiji feel that they may still be alive if they made landfall. Mahalo-rhino61.....saildiver.rhino61:take dogs with you this time!
