    I need a reality check

    I am a lawyer. I've had to deal with deal with divorcing spouses. I Reality check: the hubby here is a bad diver diver or a bad husband or both. I have never heard of anyone taking someone else's weight without asking. Hubby needs some help in wighting. A refresher would help him. As...

    Student diver dead - Co. Kent, England

    Well, some readers of Sb might want to know. I do. When someone say Instructors matter, not standards, I have to wonder. Don't agency standards determine who becomes an instructor? How about level of training? Does it matter what class the student was taking? Of course it does. And once...

    Student diver dead - Co. Kent, England

    In an investigation, you collect facts. You can determine their importance later. I also asked about level of training. Right now, there is silence. Let's get some facts.

    Student diver dead - Co. Kent, England

    Oldbear, someone out there can give us some appropriate facts. It is utterly appropriate for the dive community to know the agency involved and the level of training being received. Process of Elimination can help us to find out the agency. If the respective reps of each agency that was not...

    Student diver dead - Co. Kent, England

    Nothing in my post calls for agency bashing. The SCUBA community deserves some facts. That means agency and level of training being received.

    Student diver dead - Co. Kent, England

    The silence is disturbing. What agency? We could figure this out by process of elimination. Let's do this. Agency Reps (CDs and agency staff), please report here if this was not your agency.

    Diver missing on Spiegel Grove - Key Largo Florida

    good point. Pending an autopsy, we don't know if he had a medical emergency. Yes, he was 43. But there are 43 year olds with heart disease or diabetes. Just to play Devils Advocate, as someone who has had my share of Spiegel dives, including pens, the Spiegel has a tempting allure. The...

    Death at Dutch Springs

    Thank you, RJP. I very much appreciate that. As has been discussed earlier in this Thread, there is a question as to whether anyone who might know something about the incident in question might be able to shed light on the matter. Could you help me with that? Do you know anyone who works for...

    Death at Dutch Springs

    RJP, a couple of simple questions were asked of you. Perhaps you missed the post; that would certainly be understandable. So I'll recap them here. 1. Do you dive at Dutch springs? Have you ever been diving at Dutch springs? 2. Do you know any employees or owners of Dutch? Thank you, Sir.

    Benefits and drawbacks of the A&I Forum

    That's why getting facts out matters. When facts are missing, people fill in the gaps with speculation. The point of this Forum is for the dive community to learn from Incidents. There is another issue here: Has there been a Silencing effort? If so, that in itself is problem for this...

    Bent. I guess it really can happen to me.
