Dive-boat crew ignored warnings about missing BritA Great Barrier Reef dive-boat operator has been fined Au $60,000 (more than £29,000) after failing to mount a search for a British tourist in its care when he went missing. With his two friends he had undertaken an introductory scuba dive before proceeding to snorkel in an area said to have been monitored by a Hostel Reef Trips staff-member. Cameron ShawAfter being called back to the dive-boat and realising that Shaw was missing, his friends alerted the crew twice, but said that no attempt was made to find him. Hostel Reef Trips should have searched for the missing snorkeller as soon as the alarm was raised but no adequate safety procedures had been in place. Hostel Reef Trips had been operating diving and snorkelling boat trips to the GBR since 1992 but the year after the fatal incident rebranded as GBR Tours.
