Boat Load of Trouble
from the May, 1998 issue of Undercurrent
When the Aussie live-aboard, the Reef
Explorer, was operated by Kim and Alan
Payard, it was legendary for good diving.
But the new owners have had a boat load
of trouble — see Undercurrent January,
1998 for one incident — and the latest involves a 29-year-old crew
member diving with an Atlantis rebreather unit, who died near Cod
Hole in March. He and three other divers were holding on to the shot
line in rough weather. The three other divers surfaced, but he didn't.
When his body was recovered it showed no signs of shark attack. In
next month's issue we will take a look at the status of rebreathers in the
sport diving market.
