Most of us enjoy the idea of a nice 'Divers' watch, vintage or modern, a watch that can work say 100, 200, 300, 600 or even +1000 metres underwater....but for the vast majority of us they are just toys, and will go no more than about 3 metres underwater.

I was sad to read of the death of elite Navy SEAL diver, Saman Kunan. He had volunteered to help with the rescue of the Thai children stuck underground, and was delivering oxygen bottles along the planned exit route.

 

Very sad. A genuine hero.

 

Absolutely

 

Sad indeed. A true hero.
This story is far from over, unfortunately...

 

so sad rip

 

Sad-RIP

 

RIP......

any story on how he died?

however, I doubt “oxygen canisters” is accurate, I’d say compressed air tanks?

 

Chicago police dept lost a veteran diver as well recently searching for a drunk that fell off a private boat in the Chicago River. Dangerous work.

Thanks

 

Read about his death this morning. Very sad.

 

R.I.P.

 

Rest In Peace

A true hero

 

Real sad to hear this. Let`s all pray that the rescue operation does not take
anymore lives.

 

RIP. He's a real hero.

 

It's a miserable story all round. Hopefully no more deaths.

RIP.

 

As a native Thai, I thank the OP and all the comments from the bottom of my heart.

RIP, Kunan. You are truly a hero.

That looks a bit like a dodgy link but it is a follow up article in The Nation.

 

RIP, Mr Kunan.
