If being open minded, and flexible to exploring new ideas and approaches to issues clearly as alarming as two experienced divers, one a dive master being severely injured and a customer under their care being killed paints one as you describe than so be it.
This death has been one of a series...
Have to wholeheartedly agree there would be many, many, many situations it wouldn't be effective, totally useless, especially for those a situation when there isn't even a shark around. However (yes there is always a however), there would be situations that it would be effective. Kind of like...
Its not about 'taking guns away' it's about not being scared of an effective solution that could save lives just because gun powder is involved.
If the divemaster in this incident had a powerhead with him, likely that tiger shark would be dead right now, would it have prevented the death of...
Well I hope you two never dive on a mixed boat with spear divers armed with spear guns, or somebody with a dive knife, or dive from a boat with an outboard motor. You're probably fine with those around, but because a powerhead has gun powder it's scary, scary time.
Divemaster wants to carry a...
2 people involved in this, I don't think they were swimming on top of each other to appear like one giant turtle from below- divemaster recognized the need to intercede with the tiger before it attacked either of them so doubt the tiger was zooming in from below...
Exactly. My point about what a lawsuit might uncover are exactly things like you just outlined. Did they happen, did they not happen, none of us know as of today so far all there has been is a couple of articles spreading around the internet, mostly just derivative of each one before it. Is...
Nothing you sign gives up your rights of damages to gross negligence or reckless conduct (in the USA), this happening in Costa Rica....
If there is a lawsuit, there may be many things uncovered or brought to light that none of us are even thinking about now, it wouldn't be the first time for...
Here we go again:
Pure conjecture and wishful thinking with no facts to back it up.
I wonder why someone would make such statements....
Well that clears up the motivations to make statements about sharks just being curious when someone dies.
If you're referring to Costa Rica, I guess we will see, the Guanacaste, on the Pacific side is where virtually all the beach resorts run up and down that coast is Costa Rica's 'Cancun' or cash cow, hopefully somebody down there in the government doesn't start worrying too much and gets a bad...
That's right Richard. What we should all know and admit as divers is that if you have enough dives with sharks it's not a matter of if you will have a risky experience, it's just a matter of when. Sooner or later it's going to happen.
I can't say for sure but it certainly seems there is a...
