6/27/2017 11:31 am in West Palm Beach Florida my Eastern Marine Services contract hull diver Luis Alberto Gorgonio IXBA was killed when he was accidently sucked into the bow thruster of a 164' Westport yacht named "Honey". He had two daughters here in the US, one recently born "Emma" and two older children in Mexico. His lawyer botched the case and turned down a generous settlement and the families got nothing. It is my intention to use HDA resources to find the families and compensate them financially.

Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) is the OSHA process to stop machines from killing people. We need a solution. As I testified in multiple depositions, our problem is that our customers are simply not going to allow a hull diver, dripping wet and smelling like low tide, to board their unattended vessel, or to cross the carpet of the main salon to enter the engine room and lock out all the systems. So I wrote the SCRAPE software which has a LOTO feature that announces the intentions of the diver to dive the hull of a boat before entering the water. It also has an automated "Tender" feature that alerts Hull Divers operating nearby to check on a diver who is late to exit the water and Log a boat.
