    My Dive buddy is afraid of getting eaten by a Shark.

    Another Eagles Nest fatality

    Drowning or MI is not the issue. The poor diver got atherosclerosis because he wasn't full cave certified. And his instructor is to blame for that.

    PADI "Looking Good" Certification

    If you're worried about your wife, send her on a specialty course as well. She'll have great night(dive), exploring a wet cave with her instructor, as deep as allowed by course standards, and she'll feel happily wrecked afterwards.

    Widow sues medical doctor and training company

    The article is flawed: According to the above, Dr. Neumann, who signed off the dentist Burns, also started with his open water. Assuming that this is the first flaw, using the term emergency uncontrolled ascent probably sounds cool for a newspaper article. The only thing missing is oxygen tank...
