I was the civilian diving instructor sent from Mombasa to assist with the disaster of the Bukoba. Before the South African and Kenya navy arrived it was complete bedlam. No one took responsiblity,the site where the ship went down was a looters paradise. I still suffer from flasbacks recovering the dead including children. If i had known there was to be a rembrance day then i would have attended. My thoughts as always are with the families. Dave Ruddock
