The crew member buried 100 feet below the ocean surface in a tiny pocket of air and rescued alive dramatically from the sunken vessel Jascon 4 hit world headlines, last week.
Unique Hydra, a Unique Maritime Group Company in a release said that the DCN Global diving team used a 300HS09 Unique Hydra design and built ABS classed saturation dive system for the rescue operation.
The LEWEK TOUCAN arrived on the site soon after to commence salvage operations which also included the recovery of those bodies that tragically went down with the vessel.
However, much to the surprise of one of the divers, the cook was found alive deep inside the vessel. After stabilizing the cook and placing a helmet and harness onto him, the divers recovered him back to the saturation system and the support team successfully decompressed him after his ordeal.
Mike Jessop, managing director, Unique Hydra said, “This is indeed a great story and our congratulations to the DCN Global team and management for saving the crew member’s life”.
