Apparently they did not. Not knowing the exact situation but as a dive team member you think they should be able to realize their gas supply was about expire and should have no problem surfacing from 15 feet even with no air.

11 yrs, 500+ dives and 1 fatality of a good friend. Still hard to think about.

I believe the first was empty and the second, evidently had a uncontroled release of O2 so was tossed. Which probably was not a bad idea. As seen here and in recent catastrophic accidents O2 is nothing to F around with.

Was there a diver even involved in this accident?? Haven't heard one thing about the situation that caused all of this. So far the only thing I have heard is about the dive operation and what they did or did not do. Personal responsibiltiy?? Where's the buddy? I have not dove with this...

Sounds to me like a medical problem, heart attack, stroke. Or maybe a dive related problem like A.G.E. or I.P.E. Imersion Pulmanary Edema. But until we get a autopsy report ( that we will most likely not get) we will never know.

Yeah but there are no pretty fish on the boat. : )

You really seem to be pushing the weight belt vs integrated issue (your last 2 posts on this thread are about it) Ok, so I will play along. So now he has a weight belt on ,instead of integrated, and goes to release it and it doesn't fall because it is trapped under the cumberbun belt of the...

No, re-engineering is not always the answer. Maybe training on use and care is the answer. As I believe is the issue in this case.

Are you kidding? Because someone fails to do something correctly it needs to be changed. This is life support equipment. Much like a parachute. Because someone doesn't understand how to pack it correctly or doesn't practice packing it, how can we say the design needs to be changed? Have...

What can happen in very silty water :confused:
