I've made comparable dives. To plan and execute a dive like this with an "unknown, unproven" buddy is sheer folly. Based on the reports coming out, gas management, scooter management, and contingency planning appear at this time to be lacking.

The loss of other divers is a tragedy, whether they were known to us or not. The wishy washy feel good response to these fatalities doesn't do anyone any good, however.

Actually, the names have been released. Craig Simon of Spring Hill, FL, and John Robinson of St. Pete, FL, are the 2 divers lost. John has been recovered. Craig has not been recovered as of tonight.

My sincere condolences to the families and friends involved in this tragic accident.

I'm all for calling it like it is to prevent more of the same.

Also, with the acception of medical problems I haven't ever heard of a dive accident happening on a dive where no mistakes were made.

It's also not often that I hear of a "new" mistake. It seems that on the rare occasions that we get facts they just confirm the original suspicions.

Still wise cracks about the divers, the WKPP or scooters isn't constructive.
