"At 3 p.m. that day, through investigation, authorities determined Brady, the second diver, was missing. He was subsequently recovered from the ocean off Front Beach and pronounced deceased." First Diver was found at 11 AM. According to the article, They did not start looking for the second...

If I remember correctly, they were testing equipment. Incorrectly serviced gear or a some third party defect that lead to the deaths would be a valid issue and worth investigating. But it would be a civil matter, not a criminal one. "Unsupervised dives" are what most people in that area do...

The questions I would have, since there are no witnesses, how much air did each man have and what did their computer profiles looked like. Assuming they entered the water at the same time, you could get an idea of what went on. Did someone bolt for the surface? An uncontrolled free flow. The...

These deaths would most likely be civil matters unless there was evidence of some law being broken. If you ski into a tree, your on vacation, they aren’t doing a huge investigation, unless the family pays for it

I think they’ll do it if they die….

"Bad air" refers to contaminated (usually CO). I haven't seen anything one way or the other about contamination on this dive. If it was CO poisoning, we would almost certainly have heard about it. Someone else would have found the source at the fill station or someone else was made sick...

There were no surviving witnesses. Was it an OOA ? Did they get separated? Equipment failure? Exposure Leading to drowning? Unless they have specific evidence, why put the family through more? I would have expected they should have started looking for the second diver more quickly, which may...

I learned on tables and a standard transmission. I ended up getting a standard transmission on my most recent car. The first month was not elegant. I knew the tables. I could use the tables. I understood the tables. I would never trust the tables like I trust the mechanical reliability of...

I was in Belize a couple of years ago and this woman was there with a guy and they had a big blowout. I ended up letting her stay in my room for the entire trip. Fortunately, the guy forgot to take her off his bar tab, so we were able to get wine up to almost the end of the trip. Sometimes...

If you properly prepare one case, you are going to be qualified to do the next one.

That would likely get some trouble, but I agree with others that the civil courts are the ones that are going to punish you. A home made scuba tank like you describe should probably get treated like a pipe bomb. High pressure and no over pressure release/ burst disk, I would not want it in my...

I think they would just have to show a pattern of behavior and get rando “expert” to say it was a likely contributing factor.

I will usually keep extra weights, masks, lights, etc in my car. If I have extra, I will loan it out. If needed, I could kit out another diver. I had a friend who was a new diver and I knew she wasn’t earning a lot, so I would bring tanks for her whenever needed Rather than have her rent. I...

I had a steel 72 in to do the hydro. Upon inspection they saw it had a liner and declined to do the hydro (that and the numbers were unreadable). I think I just paid for the visual. Charging for both separately seems like flogging a dead horse.:deadhorse:

I am confused, What specifically are they saying or doing that is bothering you? They are cave divers and saying don't cave dive without training. This is bad for the general diving community to see? How does this relate to their DCS hit? They aren't ranting and raving. Should these two...

The premise that they are not giving enough information about why one card worked and another didn't is just getting unnecessarily intrusive. It might be all the hookers and coke they bought or it might be his business is tanking and he has been running it off his credit card. Either way it is...

I’m also John Wick…

There is a difference between getting approval for a charge and overriding the system to actually make it. I don’t know what went or anything beyond what was in the video, but the guy who verbally okays your 10k charges has to make it happen. Amex did. Are you miffed because Woody isn’t being...

I found a $50 last summer diving the snorkel trail in Lauderdal. Two spear guns (different occasions. One was returned to the owner six months later. The second after not finding the owner, sold for $150 and split with my dive buddy. Hilariously, I had some family members believe that I found...

So one afternoon in RI, someones forgot: 2 sets of Rocket fins an inflatable float (the good ones people use for classes) a heated drysuit the drysuit went to a dive shop and we reconnected with the owner that night when he got home with out it. I took the float home to CT and returned it to...
