Marine died diving in exchange for a drysuit

A fatal accident inquiry into the death of a Royal Marine who was diving at a fish farm in exchange for a dry suit has found that the marine, Martin Blackley, 26, of Aultbea, drowned while working at a fish pen in Loch Ewe.
Both the seafood firm Marine Harvest and diving contractor Seahorse Aquaculture were criticised over working practices.
On the day of the accident instead of the required four man dive team consisting of a supervisor, diver, standby diver and tender, only three men were on duty.
Performance tests on the scuba equipment used by the marine were carried out and the regulator was found to be defective, corroded and not producing enough air. It is believed the marine became entangled in rope attached to the fish cage he was working on before he drowned.
