Re-Turner

 Just heard on ABC, sounds like they've found this Trawler boat.

Side scan sonar

Was only a matter of time before they found it, grid searches using side scan sonar , do the runs north/ south then repeat it east /west because it is easy to miss something that is only 13 metres long and about 5 metres wide if you don't run directly over top of it.

Hopefully it answers questions on why it went down

Divers

The Police divers do a marvellous job and there is no way I would do some of the things they have to do. they do have the option of saying no if they think it is too risky but rarely do.

When they did the body recovery from the boat vs barge collision off Carnarvon a few years back they knew that there was 3 sharks before they went in the water. The chopper had radioed in that 2 big tigers of over 4 metres and another suspected to be a bronzy or dusky whaler of 3 metres were over the wreck yet they still went in and pulled the three bodies out one by one.

They will record everything on video for the coroner and recover sadly what is left for identification.

Lost crew

Hopefully the 3 missing crew members will be found and those who have lost their loved ones will have an answer to where are they, tragic as the answer may be.

body recovery

Mon, 2015-08-03 21:25

mate of mine that was the boss of Stolt offshore did the body recoverys on the Harmony and Pamela after they went down during cyclone Bobby of Onslow . At the time he was living me in Dampier when he got back home he didn't leave his room for two days , finally when I got him talking he said it was a "horrible horrible job" . Police divers do a fantastic job , I know for a fact that the decline that flooded years ago after a dam burst on the surface with the loss of 6 lives each and every one of the six police divers that entered the decline to search for body's while it was still flooded were out of the water police within 12 months they were so affected by the experience
