Inquest shown last moments of commercial divers life

    The tragic last dive of a commercial diver from Wirra was shown to members of his family at an inquest in Liverpool. The upsetting footage, captured on his helmet camera, recorded Stephen O’Malley screaming for help as he struggled for breath while working on an off-shore wind farm in Bokum, Germany in May 2012.

IF THERE HAD BEEN A STAGE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF THE WATER QUICKLY: It is extremely difficult for an anyone to climb a ladder when they can't breath freely. Just the weight of your hat and bailout is 70 some pounds! THEY PICKED HIM OUT OF THE WATER BY HIS HARNESS HIS OWN WEIGHT HELPED COMPRESS HIS CHEST!

Have a look at video first John. It was about sups decision to lunch a standby issue rather then recovery to the deck (guy is screaming for a couple of minutes and sup is keep telling him to go  back to the boat - sup lunched standby when the diver stopped moving - that's my impression from the video.)
