This week on the podcast, The death of an 18-year-old on his first scuba dive has led to the biggest workplace fine in the history of the US state of Minnesota. Specialist police searches are being carried out in north Wales for a diver identified only as Imrich, 53, from Warrington in Cheshire. British divers among the seven people still unaccounted for after the sinking of the Sea Story liveaboard in Egypt have been named. The Coastguard has stood down a multi-agency search for a scuba diver who went missing in Scapa Flow, leaving Police Scotland to continue with its own investigation.

This week on the podcast, Eight people, including two Britons, remain missing following the sinking of the Red Sea dive liveaboard Sea Story yesterday (25 November). Four bodies are reported to have been recovered so far. Australian Diving Instruction, a PADI 5* instructor development centre in Geelong, south of Melbourne in Victoria, has been fined Aud $40,000 (£20,460) for the explosion of an out-of-test scuba cylinder that resulted in a diver's leg being blown off. A 25-year-old man from the UK has died after reportedly losing consciousness while scuba diving off Greece's Attica coast near Athens, on the afternoon of 24 November.

A Chinese diver wearing a brightly coloured novelty hood is reported to have been bitten on the back of the head by a tiger shark at a popular Maldives dive-site.
