I personally called a halt to this happening a few days after the accident because it was only a few days after the accident.
I know one of the buddies has spoken to CFS and CFS will post something sooner than later. I have communicated with CFS my concerns and he has given my family the space...
For the standard where was the buddy blaming, I wish to say I've dived with these three divers, collectively and separately hundreds of times, both in Sydney and on dive trips, off boats and shores and I can recall only one buddy separation and that was due to a complete silt out and...
^^ From speaking to the diver that did more than one dive with Quero, there were a number of suggestions made (weight configeration/ankle weights, different fins etc) and they felt that their suggestions were dismissed/pushed back.
I have also been contacted by another diver, someone who I...
Others wanted to descend and go in than surface swim. It's a either choice, many divers do both. Diver #3 prefers to surface swim because he's already on the surface, you can see the exit point and if he has a camera, which he didn't on this dive, he uses this time to stow stobes, turn off...
That's if she did have 50 bar. I don't know Quero but I know diver 1 and 2 and they are both excellent on air. If diver #1 had 50 bar as well, my first response was to doubt what Quero said she had.
But this is pure speculation.
As I stated earlier, you have to be part of a "team" to be a buddy team and during that dive, Quero seperated more than once from the group and again on the surface when she was asked to move closer, she dismissed diver #1s duty of care.
To understand the dive exit, its only meters in depth on...
Quero responded she had 50 bar which I believe is 750psi?? The dive exit would only take minutes, I will have to ask how far they estimate the distance to be but I would guess using only 10bar is the norm at this point.
My understanding is diver #1 & 2 began looking for bubbles when they first exited the water-this is the norm for them. They could not locate bubbles.
When diver #3 surfaced (rebreather diver) he was immediately asked if he saw/knew where Quero was. Two divers entered the water immediately to...
I can tell you that one of the divers told Quero to come close to the group while on the surface. The response was she was fine and will meet them on the sand - and this is what happened. THis is the same diver that asked her how much air she still had in her tank before descending. On paper...
No idea. Its not something I asked or was mentioned to me.
I only found out last night that her suit was cut so first aid could be given.
I can also add that the lead first aider is someone that I trust 100%, both in and out of the water. If this was me, I would have been in the best of...
I can add when she was found, her bcd was fully inflated and she was on the bottom.
A person went down and attempted to inflate her bcd and then her drysuit to bring her to the surface, there was no response from the tank so the person filled his wing to bring her up
On the surface they could...
I happily dive solo. my hubby dives solo on a rebrether, we have also dived with a "same ocean, same dive-buddy" attitude and depending on vis, we can either be a meter apart of 100ft apart but on a first time dive in a new country, I stick to the people that are my guides.
For me, its about...
OK. My lesson learned? Stick to your f'ing group. There is no "team" in "buddy team" if one of the divers wanders off.
There were four divers in the water on Monday. One chose to move away from the group at various times, eventually seperating herself from the group of two she was with and...
To be honest, Im not sure. She lived in Thailand but her adult children lived in mainland US and Hawaii. There is a small local service in a few days and then they will be leaving.
Of course there is but respect remains paramount and it is an ongoing investigation. I know there are family members and those that attempted to save her are aware of this and the condolence thread so Im cannot post detailed excerpts from the police statement.
Not being through this before...
Autopsy has been performed. Im not comfortable discussing any further about her body/remains but her family is here and she will be going home after Monday our time
^^Edit: That'll teach me for sitting on this post for 90mins
Hello my SB friends. Long time no post. I havent been on SB for a number of years, life and being burnt out got in the way but ive been watching this thread and thought very long and hard before posting but Im posting because I...
