Got the call out saturday but by the time i had regained mobile reception, we'd already been stood back down again (well they had enough people by then and there was no space for any more cars).

Very sad. A great effort by everyone by the sounds of it.

Sad outcome :-( diving is still something I'll keep clear of!
I was impressed with how quickly the diving team showed up and how divers across the country turned up to help with little notice. Got home about 430am. Which subsequently was when my on call for work began.
