Nelson was originally a government diver from Norway, renowned for his exquisite skills and rich experience in underwater salvage; he was spotted by Anders, a wealthy Norwegian who had made his fortune from salvage operations and was recruited with a high salary to come aboard the Grey Goose salvage ship, where he served as the chief diver.
This time Nelson was on vacation but was called back temporarily to participate in the operation.
Anders had an exceptionally good relationship with the Norwegian Maritime Bureau, and he was among the first to learn of Sean Knight's activities off the Norwegian coast. As a result, he immediately canceled the staff's vacation on the Grey Goose and had the salvage ship sail out of the pier and into the designated sea territory.
Indeed, they discovered Sean Knight's yacht in that location.
