2023年在Scapa Flow发生的一次潜水事故造成Paul Smith死亡,原因是对Karin号的监视不力,Karin号没有许可证,而且事先有安全问题。 A 2023 dive accident in Scapa Flow killed Paul Smith due to poor lookout on the Karin, which lacked a permit and had prior safety issues.

2025年MAIB的一份报告指出,Karin潜水辅助船的监视程序不当,导致2023年与70岁的潜水员Paul Smith在Scapa Flow发生致命碰撞,他在Scapa Flow的SMS Markgraf残骸附近从降压站上升。 A 2025 MAIB report concluded that inadequate lookout procedures on the dive support vessel Karin led to the fatal 2023 collision with 70-year-old diver Paul Smith in Scapa Flow, where he was ascending from a decompression stop near the SMS Markgraf wreck. 尽管使用了表面标记浮标,但卡林的船员没有看到它,因为船员不在职,并阻碍了船的可见性. Despite a surface marker buoy being deployed, it was not seen by Karin’s crew, who failed to maintain a proper watch due to a deckhand being off-duty and obstructed visibility from the helm. 卡琳在没有有效许可证的情况下行动,有过类似事件的历史。 The Karin, operating without a valid permit, had a history of similar incidents. MAIB发现监视系统无效,敦促奥克尼群岛理事会审查娱乐性潜水作业,同时建议更新安全规程和改进船只之间的沟通。 The MAIB found the lookout system ineffective and urged Orkney Islands Council to review recreational dive operations, while recommending updated safety protocols and improved communication between vessels.
