I posted the incident report that was sent to PADI. Without any media coverage, there is limited information available. I attempted to make what little information I had access to available for discussion.

I have access to the PADI incident report. Would providing that be acceptable? It would show that what was in the official report was the same as what was reported on Trip Advisor.

The fishing boat could pick up the tech divers, couldn't it?

That was my first question. Also, with the fishing boat present, wouldn't there be an expectation of assistance from their boat due to the emergency?

10-12 foot seas sound high for Molokai. Should the dive boat have been out at all in those conditions?

Are Coast Guard records public?

Last I remember, the qualification is 25 dives.

In this case, there isn't a wreck involved. I believe that there are mooring balls, but I'm not positive. The dive boat is a typical vacation diver boat, as you can see in the photo (one of their two boats, I'm not sure which was involved), and there is no chase boat to leave behind. This...

Fair enough. But I didn't indent to finger point with that comment. I trying to discuss a possible course of action in an emergency like this. I believe that I mentioned in a previous post that the CCR divers had expressed their wishes to be left behind in the event of an emergency. What isn't...

I asked about this. She says that she did not film because it felt disrespectful to the deceased.

I understand skwirl's point to an extent. Tonight, Megan told me that she feels like she is under attack from employees from the dive shop (see Levi's comment calling her pathetic in the screenshots, and both Erica and Nick basically saying that she doesn't have the right to comment on the...

Actually, you make a good point and I concede. I was assumed by that everyone knew that the issue in this case was that the CCRs have deco obligations. Another contributing factor is that the CCR divers in question usually film on their own. The procedure on abnormal day is that the CCR divers...

I agree that CCR is not the issue for the recall, but I feel like we are splitting hairs. Whether OC or CCR, if there is a diver in cardiac arrest on the boat, what should be done when there are divers down that have deco obligations?

Part of what surprises me is that there wasn't a way to get the diver to medical staff sooner. While I understand that this site is further from Maui than other dive sites, couldn't the diver have been brought to a facility on Molokai? Megan said that there was a fishing boat present. If we...

I notice that Nick states that he started CPR, but from my understanding, it was another person that started CPR after the passenger turned blue. I wonder if Nick is conflating administering O2 with starting CPR.

I agree about not mixing CCR. I know the CCR divers that were on the boat and they have told the dive shop owner to leave them if there is an emergency while they are down. It doesn't sound like this was communicated to the staff. unhappy said that the crew stated that the O2 was broken when...

I see the main issues as the dive op left customers to manage the situation, had faulty oxygen on board, and did not have a procedure in place for what to do if a recreational diver had an emergency while the rebreather are down.

I have been speaking directly with unhappy and can confirm that this is her account. I have seen communications sent to her from Lahaina Divers staff and they confirmed that there was a death. The Lahaina Divers staff has been less than friendly toward her for posting her review and she was...
