Serbian arrested after dive-tank explosionA 45-year-old man from Belgrade in Serbia, identified only by the initials ‘MB’, has been arrested by Montenegrin police in connection with the scuba-tank explosion at an Adriatic shore location that caused a teenager to lose a hand on 24 August. The 14-year-old boy was reported to have been at least 50m from the source of the explosion on Ploče Beach when a piece of shrapnel struck his wrist, as reported on Divernet on 27 August. According to regional media reports, MB is suspected of serious offences including endangering public safety and conducting unauthorised business activities involving diving equipment, though charges have yet to be brought. A dive-shop, Diving Centre Plaža Ploče, has operated at Ploče Beach since 2011, offering a range of scuba and freediving services including equipment rental. It operates two compressors said to have capacity of 400l/min for trimix and nitrox mixes.
