“We have two Defence Force officers on our vessels and they sign off on everything that we bring up to the lab,” Dr Pateman said.
Wonder what never comes to the surface to be accounted for, but may be picked up later......
Just sayin.

Firm hand from which every deal struck now has a stink that we are stuck with.
The last set out PLP'd the PLP in the self service dept.
None of them understand rule under authority, they only know rule by spite and personal power.

If Chinas economy collapses and the Russian war gets further out of hand they would be best to be begging for corned beef and grits to stockpile.
Collective idiocy.

Strange behavior from two parties in partnership on the "Flip Project"
Del Zotto declared they're out, so when they leaving? to about face now would indicate some instability with respect to their presence.
Strange bedfellows.

In poor taste and still is. Any event held in Nassau would be in particular bad taste.
No sense of proper decorum. Dorian Memorial fund? Who the hell can be trusted to administer that?

Ingraham had his hooks in the Families as much as any other, and they had theirs in him also.
Once Wallace Groves was ousted the writing was on the wall.
Took a long time to circle the drain as there was much to pillage and re-structure.

Should be branded as the last (non)functioning example of a Colonial Plantation.
Seriously though, Sir Lynden was a young lawyer who helped Sir Stafford take land from the Natives, few they may have been. (Williams Town for a start)
Bend or Break was for the consumption of the masses, Obviously still works.
Like the supposed gate to EMR myth, which was actually a Customs checkpoint, to prevent all the tax free materials exiting Freeport. It did well for riling everyone up at the time though.
Want more interesting facts? I will warn you though, it may undermine your heroes.

So for the record, there were two Decompression chambers in the Bahamas in years past:
Autec in Andros, and BASRA Grand Bahama had one at Unexo, a private dive operation.
Both of these saved many a divers life from the 70's through the 90's.
Decompression chambers get derated as they get older, and eventually the FReeport chamber owned by BASRA, a volunteer non profit, had to decommission their chamber. No funding was available for another new one.
Autec, for some reason I believe stopped treating people from outside of their own operations, for whatever reason.
I will stand corrected as to the why of that development. It too may have been derated to the point of non operational status.
Of more concern is shallow water blackout which is a different animal, I believe of far more danger to casual and commercial divers. Scuba rating should be required of all commercial divers and especially those using compressors, but that is for discussion by those more involved than I.
Diving is dangerous.
Always sad when someone is lost in this way.

Kind of like two crack head/bums having an argument curbside about which is more underperforming. Davis would do well to stay out of that lest it become a 3 way dispute.
