Three years after four divers lost their lives in what became known as the Paria diving tragedy, the government has decided to award $1 million to each of their families and an additional $1 million to the lone survivor.

The payments are ex gratia.

Prime Minister Stuart Young announced the payments at a post-Cabinet media conference at White Hall earlier today.
