...I used to dive on stuck pots when I was working on the crayboats up there and I remember one day in about six meters where I was trying to push a pot out from under a ledge and up a sandy slope...the surge pushed me back down under the ledge and dropped the pot on top of me. Fortunately I was on SCUBA so I had time to sort myself out and get back to the top but if had been a breath hold situation things could have been very different...ending up like this poor bloke...

That sucks, poor bloke. just got home from two dives to hear this. RIP. Big swell yesterday and lots of surge around today especially in shallow. Poor guy, can never help but feel sorry for the people left on board the boat when stuff like this happens, that have to deal with emergencies involving friends and loved ones, a very sad thing.

 Free diving from the beach on his pots ,got tangled in fishing line .Condolances to his family and freinds.
