“A big well done to the local boat skippers and friends of Geoff Ingram for organising and taking on the task of finding and retrieving Geoffs body.
And special thanks to the brave divers who went down to the wreck in such tragic circumstances.
Due to all of your efforts, his family and friends can now have a proper funeral and lay him to rest.”
