As I clarified in my other post, this is a different situation then a boat captain having a death on his boat..He was the buddy on the dive. I dont expect him to close down..But, if my friend died in front of me, I 'm not too sure I would be into diving again soon, or having much to do with...
Firstly, there is no way here in Ontario, a guy with a zodiac is paying his mortgage running a weekend charter op. He is not affiliated with any shop, and trailers the boat...Also, with the exception of some of the more hard core divers, the charter season here is about May until Sept. For...
BTW, adiverswife, I'm taking a wild guess that your the wife of the deceased..Do you think coming here and reading all this chatter is going to help the grieving process?
Being on deep dives, and knowing how to, and being trained to deal with failures that can happen on deep dives are two different worlds..You can do 500 dives you are not prepared for and have nothing go wrong..But every time you roll off the boat, its like Russian Roulette...Pardon my bluntness...
Then how can you discredit what country diver is saying?
I know he had Advanced Open Water, and an incomplete intro to tech course..Neither of which should have had him diving on the crane..But like I said, not his fault..There were people on board that knew better..
Because a fatality in our sport is a big deal..
And I'm curious as well..I have several dives on that wreck, and would like to know what happened..
No one blames the deceased..As I said on another forum, I point the finger squarely at the the person who owns the boat..He knows damn well someone...
Then why are they saying this was not a paid charter, when I have the Aquaholic email from the day before listing Wed as a day of paid charters? Also, most reports say the diver was found on the bottom with no mask and no vitals. OUC report says he has problems on the ascent?
Nope, take a look at the current OUC report..Its pretty much a waste of bandwidth...Also, how can we ensure this never happens again? I am pretty confident that the true story will NEVER come out..Ever heard the saying, C Y A
Cover your ass...
OUC has released their first report on this accident. Nothing in there that doesn't raise more questions as far as I'm concerned..

Also, the report lists this dive as the first dive of the day, and not the second as previously stated by the...
Thanks for the info :)
When the other option becomes available, let me know..
In the mean time, I might try the other guy...At least there will be a "team" of us to fend of the ridicule..lol
Thanks again
