Navy divers come to the rescue at Sydney boat show

04/08/2009

When a staff member at the Jeanneau stand at the Sydney International Boat Show accidentally dropped an access board into the harbour while closing up, the navy divers who were on site at the show marina offered to help.

It took 10 minutes to get their gear on – and just 34 seconds to retrieve the board. Of course some wag in the crowd suggested they drop it back and go for the record…
