H110Hawk, thank you for your contribution to the Thread. I am sorry that you witnessed part of the aftermath. That must have been upsetting for you, especially in light fo the fact that you were doing your OW dives. Please don't let this incident scare you away from divng. Does anyone know...

Might it have been a penetration dive? I am told that it is possible to squeeze into the U-352, but I don't know. There would not be anything to see but silt, I expect.

The U-352 is a truly wonderful dive. Just out of curiousity, what Operator were you diving with? Which operation was running the other boat? I wonder if the deco divers had intentionally left their bottles at your ascent line. Personally, I would not care if some other divers were using my...

Dam0, you and your mates did well. Thank you for sharing your experience here on ScubaBoard. Keep diving.

Question: Would a dive boat's movement in the water affect an AED's function? An ambulance crew has to pull-over before using an AED because an ambulance's movement can interfere with an AED's operation. I don't know if the ambulance has to have its engine shut-off. so, would the movement of...

I agree. However, I am not sure if the natural movement of a dive boat, even one with the engine off, might affect the AED's functioning.

Here's an update. I was at Bainbridge today. The use of reels on the platforms is now banned at the quarry. There are signs on the picnic tables.

There is much that we don't know. I am sure, Ron, that you, as a Moderator, would not try to discourage discussion of this fatality. Lots of recreational divers take a 2 year hiatus from diving and don't die during their return dives. Bainbridge is a popular dive site. Indeed, some returning...

The article was informative. Thank you for posting it. I dove Bainbridge; it's a nice quarry for diving. Deeper than 50 feet it is quite cold. In the 40s (F). Questions still remain. 1) What kind of gear was he using? 2) What was he doing? The rumour at the quarry is that he...

Thank you, Mr. Georgitsis, for the clarification by UDT. Thank you also for your condolences to the family. Mr. Georgitsis reports that the diver was NOT using UTD diving gear. Does anyone know what kind of gear was the diver using? Can anyone provide information about the circumstances of...

I once dove off a NC vessel when there was an incident. The O2 bottle was small and almost empty. Fortunately, no one died. But the next several times I dove off the NC coast, I brought my own O2 kit.

It happened on Saturday. I was not there but was there next day. Word is that it was a tech diver. Victim was male. I HEARD (repeat heard) that he had been trained in tech fairly recently and was skills practicing. Does anyone know if this is true? ---------- Post Merged at 01:24 PM...

Amen. The best retaliation is the monetary kind. That will get his attention.

As a practicing attorney, I deal with the issues of waivers from time to time. There are many factors that can be involved, including the jurisdiction in question. In the US, waivers rarely, if ever, prevent a case from going to trial if there is an accusation of gross negligence.

Wow. Prevention is the best medicine.

Gee. in his 20s? Probably not cardiovascular causation.

Please know that in the event of a lawsuit, there would likely be more than one defendant. PADI would likely be a co-defendant as might the company that owns the quarry. So, there would be multiple deep pockets here.

I think that the Miss Lindsey is out of Lynn Haven Dive Center.

We all make mistakes. I hope you feel better soon.

I disagree. out him now. You have the boat name. He can respond and deny if he wants to. Sometimes, public shame is a good deterrent.
