Interesting to see that the lifeboat failed to deploy or inflate.

Re: Dive boat sinking near Phuket
The video doesn't show the boat sinking far enough to cause a canister packed life raft to inflate. Once released from a cradle (either manually or by an automatic hydro-static release) typically 50'-100' of line has to be pulled out of the canister before the inflation mechanism is triggered.edm81363 wrote:Interesting to see that the lifeboat failed to deploy or inflate.
Take a look at the instructions on on the canister next time you are around a raft.
Here's a typical example.
