Training Scuba Ranch Incident Report

[Jcp2]

From reading previous post, it appears the computer of dive master who was assisting with the class was lost several weeks after the tragic event.

“Lost”

Curious how the Instructor, who's a PSD diver and on the Sheriff's Dive Team and should've been the person most aware of Dylan's location would be unable to find her, yet the recovery diver found her in 6 min on his initial sweep.

We know EMS call went out at 10:30 and Dylan was recovered at 10:45. Computers would easily tell what time they started the dive. It was Dive 1 of the day so did they really not start the first dive until after 10:00?

12 year old girl as part of an 8 person class in a bloody lake with 1 Instructor and a DM. Shut down and lock up....

Have you seen PS divers dive, most PS divers suck at diving, there’s a few that know what they’re doing, but many don’t, and they dive like it’s 1990

She wasn’t the only young one in the group. Her buddy she was paired with was apparently a 12-year old boy (nearly 13 is what I’m told).

I have and have even helped train LEO dive teams. Don't disagree with your statement but they almost all know how to do a basic search which is apparently all it took...

They should go look for that “lost” computer.

I know plenty of guys (including myself) that are more than capable and willing. However, I'd hate to waste everyone's time for a computer that's not there and never was.

Not to mention that this should be fairly moot if the Kaufman Sheriffs had downloaded William and Dylan's computers along with any other students'. Anyone want to put odds on the status of the dive logs from any of the shop's computers or William's?
