Lucky Chap

Portland MRCC had a very busy afternoon yesterday. Just after 3pm a report of a missing diver off Lulworth had 2 lifeboats, a helicopter and Lulworth Coastguard out searching.

After 4 hours the diver had made it ashore and was spotted by a vessel assisting in the search.

The diver had seen the search units but was unable to attract their attention.

As you will read in the MCA news report on the link above, Coastguard recommend bright coloured suits and a device to attract attention when in difficulty.
