SINGAPORE – A 22-year-old Malaysian diver died on June 18 after he got entangled with a boat propeller while cleaning a ship’s hull at an anchorage at Marina South Pier.
The man, who was employed by Dive-Marine Services, was taken to Singapore General Hospital, where he died of his injuries, the spokesman added.The police said the diver was unconscious when taken to hospital, and based on preliminary investigations, no foul play is suspected. “Both the SSDE and CSCUBA come with a voice communication system for the diver to maintain contact with those on the surface, and a rope, or lifeline, to prevent the diver from being swept away by strong currents,” he said.
“Even with a buddy looking out for you, recreational equipment cannot be used for commercial diving, as there are insufficient safety measures if something bad happens,” he said.
