Yes. I’m afraid the remaining 7 won’t be recovered until perhaps when they lift the boat. Divers were going to sweep one more time and then the process would begin from what I read.
I believe that one of their fiancés said/shared that diving conditions were too dangerous at present.

From what I was told, The original dives were only to find "air pockets" the rescue portion. Now they are searching everything-recovery portion.

First, an EPIRB would do absolutely ZERO good in this situation. An EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beaon) is a single device that is registered with the Coast Guard/NOAA to a SPECIFIC vessel.
Correct. It certainly would not have gotten any one of the remaining bodies rescued if they are still in the vessel.
The PLB can be effective but again, if they’re trapped inside the vessel, unconscious but alive, it’s a remote chance.

Did they find another man? Video with Dylan Daspits dad saying they’re looking for six still missing.

I’ve seen plenty of times inspectors come on the boats, and just punch the cards wo even looking at
The equipment.

Watched the video of one of the fathers today. Said Seacor has been good, but Talos has not helped whatsoever, or contacted any of the families.
Barely a mention of anything on the national media, so it has been hard to raise money for search and recovery.

Yeah I think I mentioned that above .. was very hard to watch and hear as a parent and a wife.
God bless them and I pray that they recover their bodies. I'm imagining that the realization that they aren't alive is likely starting to be faced.

Jay's daughter has a video recorded to say thank you ... it's on Spencer Gremillion's facebook page shared from Essentially Fit Nutritions page.
PRECIOUS angel.

I’ve been away for awhile.
Few questions.
How will being on national media help with recovery of personnel?
I have never heard of an oilfield accident that had to “ raise money for search and recovery”.
Do they need a Go Fund Me for recovery ?
If so this is all new to me.
Please expound.

I think this is for the Cajun Navy part of it. They’re been on WWL talking about the cost to keep their planes in the air (assumed fishing for donations)

The Cajun Navy does good some times.
PHI and many operators fly all over the GOM everyday from dawn to dusk. If a body is floating they spot it when they see crabs,fish and birds. Sounds harsh but it’s true.
IMO them pushing for donations is playing on the situation. Downvote away.
Not you Jamboy.

It may help with the donations the father was asking for for recovery operations. Most people out of Louisiana haven’t even heard about this.
Plus, it would just fricking make me feel better. You have these many hard working guys die in a horrible tragedy, and you don’t hear a word. You have one crackhead breaking the law and fighting cops, and the whole fricking country goes to shite

Long story short, the call was made to evacuate the boat, and they attempted to pop both life rafts on the deck, which flew away in the 100 MPH winds. I really believe that would have happened here, and the one life raft that was found popped from the Seacore vessel was found in ST 39, which while not far from Fourchon, is pretty damn far considering it was only an hour after the boat flipped.
Does this vessel really only have inflatable life rafts?
Seems crazy to me that a vessel with maximum 50 POB or whatever wouldn’t have rigid lifeboats. But I guess those have their flaws as well, and an inflatable is probably easier to launch when SHTF.

Exactly.
Hard working guys and their families are devastated and the government can’t/won’t assist.
Pretty fricking aggravating to say the least.

The Coast Guard was there to the best of my knowledge. The government can’t bring them back.

Of course the father is emotional. I wish he could find his son. But in reality he has no better chance than the folks looking.
We all know the news media is fricked up. Please don’t make this political. I don’t think crackheads or cops or thugs had anything to do with this tragedy.

A lot of stock action by Seacor insiders on April 15th. Options being exercised.
Not a good look

First lawsuit hit today.
Lawsuit
Hannah Daspit, the wife of missing crewman Dylan Daspit, filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Houston, alleging that the ship's owners are responsible for gross negligence and violations of federal maritime law.
Daspit is seeking damages in excess of $25 million.
Seacor Power capsized April 13 near Port Fourchon, and while six of the men who were aboard the vessel were rescued, another six were found dead as members of the Coast Guard and others searched the waters of the Gulf.
Daspit is among the still-missing seven crewmen who are now presumed dead.
His wife's lawsuit, according to The Advocate, alleges violations of the Federal Jones Act, which governs maritime law; and negligence, gross negligence and unseaworthiness.
The Coast Guard called off its search on Monday, but other divers continued to search the overturned vessel.
