OK so let me start by saying my name is Heath and i am the 3rd diver involved in the accident. I was there unlike kevin who seems to be spreading rumors as to what happened and was not even on the island ( so Kevin shut the F*** UP! and stop spreading hearsay and rumors ) I was there for the entire dive that has put the three of us in the hospital and has the three of us taking rides in the chamber twice a day. the three of us were caught in a down current that pushed us down deeper than we had ever planed on going and by the time we recovered we had to buddy breath off of one tank all the way to the surface and were not able to make any stops due to the lack of air.

I know none of you know me but at this point Opal and Gabi are both in bad shape and don't need rumors being spread about what might have happened but they do need to be in your prayers.

I'm glad you're doing better Heath. I think we've met before if you're the guy that was diving with Scuba Mau in April. I do feel the need to say something that I think others have said or are thinking. Kevin is a good guy. I haven't read anything from him that was disrepsectfull to you, Opal or Gabi, and I know he wouldn't do so. He was just trying to bring info to all of us that are very concerned over what's happened. And I thank him for that.

Best of luck with your recovery!
David

Wooh boy.

SB folks--I've only met Gabi a couple of times, once 10 years ago and once more this past July. Both times he just seemed like someone I've always known. Hands down a great guy.

Gabi, it's really good to hear from you.
