On Friday 25th, 2022 at 2:30pm, 5 divers were sucked into an oil pipe due to the negligence of Paria Fuel Trading Company Limited.

It was reported thereafter that Colin Piper and other persons instructed the Coast Guard to prevent volunteers from diving to save the men. However a diver was able to save one man before Coast Guard threatened to shoot him if he tried to save another. The pipe was allegedly sealed and the men left to die. 

On Monday 28, 2022 at 6pm, three divers dead bodies were recovered.
