I believe most diving operations keep things safe, although I always check out who Im diving with and how they deal with rescue situations. The electronic makers are a good idea, although very costly and I dont see them being used by many operators in the near future. Im just wondering if Aggressor use them because their an American based operator and fear high cost legal action against themselves?

As far as saftey sausages or surface maker bouys as I call them are concerned, Ive known for sometime that the high viz yellow is more visible than the traditional high viz red variety. All British divers use them, in fact you wont get on a boat without one.

Having seen a few incidents over the years Im convinced that things will go wrong and divers will get lost. Ive always planned to stay together and keep calm and positive should it ever happen to me.

The cd idea is a good one, they can usually be bought from any internet cafe overseas for about 50 c.

These guys here went missing a few days ago and where recovered today. Im not sure if Id have preffered to have been bobbing about in the sea rather than fighting off Komodo Dragons. www.guardian.co.uk/world/20...indonesia
