Here's a brief report from the media. Still quoting the tanks as oxygen...

Once again, my thoughts and prayers not only to the families, but to the recovery teams and everyone involved in this tragic accident...

Well, found... not recovered yet. Entangled near a restriction at 285, possibly his own line but that's not clear yet. scooters were found as well [not with the second body] and will be recovered today as well.
Scooters haven't yet been extracted. There is no information to support a scooter malfunction yet.dvrgaryc:

The recovery team managed to untangle the 2nd diver from his own line in a nasty little hole beyond John's Pocket. The scooters did not fail, we know this for sure.
A team late last night managed to move the diver from Johns pocket and to the main line just beyond the Key Hole pit.
The recovery team had to work for over 30 minutes at 290 feet just to cut free the diver and move him to the line.
A couple teams will be going in today and attempt to move the body all the way out or as far as possible.
Before everyone starts saying things that are not true, waite for the real recovery report that will be posted after the investigation.

In all seriousness Curt, I have a tremendous amount of respect for what the recovery teams are doing. I'm a volunteer firefighter and have dealt with my fair share of bodies. Even so I can't even imagine what it's like 300' down and 1000' from air. I'm anxiously awaiting your post that says the recovery is finished and everyone is at home with their families.
