Fish 0 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Looks to be floating fine in those photos. The dive boat that had 13 people on and was in danger of sinking is a different boat to the tug in the photos. Lion Foundation Rescue was putting out a fire on the un-manned tug, when it was diverted to the dive boat... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
