Another CZM diving death Nov 21.

[Shut up & dive]

A woman this time. Anyone have details? We're down here and hear rumors flying.

Word I heard was a woman on the wreck. Recovered a couple hours after.

Here as well, and so far, no details. Another sad event.

These may ALL be totally unrelated, unfortunate incidents but does it seem like an unusually high number of fatal accidents for CZM? Doesn't this make 5 deaths in the last 2 months?

And today's? I've been diving here for decades and this seems like a truly tragic bad streak.

I have no idea what happened today on the wreck, but so far - as wild as it is to have 5 fatalities there in 2 months, still - all I see is Random Grouping. Not much in common other than the sport, which we know is potentially dangerous - which we try to manage safely.

I'm sure it's stressful for the locals who have to help with the aftermath including our Deputy Consulate, as well as sad for the respective families & friends plus others on the boats or staying at the same hotels.

I guess I'm just wondering if there's a board of some sort that reviews these incident clusters - like morbidity/mortality post-ops - to see who was involved, what measures were in place, best-practices, number of dives each fatality had under his/her belt, location, what "might" have prevented it? I heard the woman today really didn't want to do the second dive. If that's true, why DID she? I certainly DON'T want the powers that be in CZM involved but maybe someone at DAN can look into this? Not looking to assign blame; just hoping to learn how to prevent another family from getting horrible news that can't fathom. We were at the table next to these divers yesterday, laughing and enjoying the surface interval and now one of them is gone. Just sad.

I'm here and have heard some stuff, but the facts and details are yet to emerge.

Wow, another tragedy... very sad. Let's not run wild with conjecture until we hear some information from a credibile source. Thoughts go out to the family and friends who lost a loved one today.
