do you guys know the team of Divers who joined the search and rescue team for the helicopter crash on Philippine sea?,one of the casualties is a politician.
the Australian diver found the dead bodies,wonder if he is a member of this board.
 
If you mean the events in Masbate:

1) Matt Reed, of Evolution Divers Malapascua, and several of his team have been fundamental in assisting search and recovery operations.
2) Matt is British.
3) Matt is a member of Scubaboard.
4) Military divers from Philippines NAVSOG also took part. They are a 10-man team, the only military team in the P.I. trained to conduct deep Trimix dives.
5) NAVSOG were trained at Boardwalk Dive Center, Subic.
6) The crashed aircraft was a light Cessna, not a helicopter.
7) The crashed aircraft contained a prominent politician, Robredo, 2 pilots and his aide.
8) Robredo and the two pilots died. The aide got clear of the aircraft when it crashed, and miraculously lived.
9) Danny Von Brumbach, a German resident in the Philippines, was evacuated to recompression chamber aboard a Coastguard vessel this afternoon.
10) Danny was diagnosed with, and is being treated for, Decompression Sickness.

There was a military helicopter involved in a forced landing in Bohol today. That was unrelated to this incident.
