Written by Frank Clifton

Does any one remember the fatal accident that killed six divers using the decompression chamber on the Reclaim. when it was in Malta alongside HMS Forth, these divers died as a result of a fault in the Reclaims decompression chamber.I was serving on the Forth at the time and one of my mates Shipwright Ben Thomas was killed in this accident.
