The divers entered the water from a tugboat. Employee #1 seemed panicked by the time he reached the barge. He tried to return to the tugboat, while the other diver continued to work. Employee #1 surfaced and asked for a line, but soon disappeared. Employee #1 had no training or certification for either commercial or recreational diving.
