Penny Glovers family facing up to Scuba Diving Tragedy December 23, 2005
Posted by Andy Carroll in : Accidents, Rebreathers , trackbackRELATIVES of a missing Suffolk diver who disappeared off the coast of France are trying to face up to the reality that she may now never be found, says the East Anglian Times.
Penny Glover, a very experienced diving instructor, and one of BSAC’s chief rebreather instructors, has not been seen since she and her diving partner, Jacques Fillipi, scuba dived off the south coast of France on November 21st.
Last week the official search was called off and the family is now trying to come to terms with the loss of Penny Glover.
�We will try to finalise matters as best we can by working with the French authorities. It is a complicated matter to sort out Penny’s estate as her body has not been recovered and French law is different to the law in this country,� said Mr Denny.
The two divers were lost in deep water near the island of Porquerolles, and the search operation included the use of a mini submarine but with no success.
A sad time for divers. My condolences to Penny’s family and many friends. Please feel free to leave a message and I shall pass it on to BSAC, who will be able to forward it accordingly.
