DIVE BOAT SINKS

KYLE OF LOCHALSH | 15 NOVEMBER
When a dive boat with three divers ran aground, the Kyle of Lochalsh crew rushed to the rescue. Finding the divers safe on the rocks, the crew decided to wait for the tide to flood before towing the boat away. But as they towed the boat it began to list – the rocks had caused significant damage to the underside of the boat and there was nothing the crew could do to prevent it from sinking. Thankfully, the three divers were already aboard the lifeboat and were returned to land safely.
