Diver dies during work to recover sunken Bayesian superyacht

  • A 39-year-old Dutch salvage diver died on May 9 during preliminary underwater operations to recover the superyacht Bayesian off the coast of Sicily near Porticello.
  • The diver's death occurred while preparing to raise the 184-foot vessel, which sank last August after being hit by severe weather that killed seven people, including British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his daughter.
  • About 70 specialists from across Europe have mobilized to conduct a complex salvage operation supervised by UK company TMC Marine and led by Dutch firms Hebo and SMIT Salvage.
  • Officials stated the salvage team had made "significant progress," confirmed the yacht's condition remained stable, and planned to lift the vessel later this month, subject to weather and sea conditions.
  • Investigations continue into both the diver's death and the causes of the yacht's sinking, while the salvage effort is expected to provide key evidence on the incident’s circumstances.
