Yuko Inagaki, the dive guide, described the traumatic moment she found Karl Bareham submerged on the ocean floor, initially mistaking his stillness for a diving trick. Despite her initial optimism, as she approached, her perspective shifted dramatically: 'You can tell in a face that [someone's having] fun, but it didn't look like that at all.' Her desperate attempts to revive Bareham illustrated the horror of the unexpected situation.
Inagaki recounted adjusting Bareham's buoyancy before he tragically disappeared beneath the waves. Her focus was on the group dynamics: 'I helped adjust Bareham's buoyancy before leading the group towards a shallow area.' The diver's distress underscores the criticality of having a buddy during dives, questioned by counsel Rob Ranken during the proceedings.
