Halemano: I'll PM you about diving regulations/oversight as I don't think I was clear in what I was asking, and it's pretty fair outside the scope this particular thread.
Everyone else: Today was my first day back in the water since last Sunday (stupid real job) and the unconfirmed reports on the waterfront are that another charter operator retrieved three other IDH divers on the same dive (two came up on the wrong anchor line 300 yards from their own, and one was found alive, happy and drifting on the surface). If this is true then the conditions were likely too rough for the divers being splashed. It's also very sobering because think of how much larger in scope this event might have been... Just to be clear these reports are unconfirmed at the moment, so if you were there and can tell us what actually happened please do -- what was reported to me today is incorrect let me know and I'll redact this post.
