Diver dies during work to recover sunken superyacht Bayesian

May 11, 2025

London [UK], May 11: A diver who was working on the recovery of tech tycoon Mike Lynch's sunken superyacht has died during underwater work in Sicily, it is understood.
The man, believed to be a diver for Dutch firm SMIT Salvage, died on Friday and an investigation will look into what happened, the PA news agency has learned.
Billionaire entrepreneur Lynch, 59, and his daughter Hannah, 18, were among seven people who died when the 56-metre Bayesian sank off the coast of the Italian island on August 19.
About 70 specialist personnel had been mobilised to the fishing village Porticello from across Europe to work on the recovery operation, which began earlier this week.
Work to move the Bayesian into an upright position and lift it to the surface was due to begin in under two weeks, subject to suitable weather and sea conditions. (PA Media/dpa)
