thanks for the link... interesting dilemma for the rescuers who brought the victim up... do you bring someone up in trouble so fast with disregard for your own deco requirements and endanger yourself in the hopes of giving that victim a chance... tough decision...

Safety is always #1 regardless, such like in medic training they teach you before you go to a scene is "the scene safe?" then BSI then go in . Some rescue divers do go above and beyond and alot find out the hardway, the only time I would go beyond my limit is if it's a good friend of mine or a child.

ah. i was at work (in a bar) and it was my last day before flying out to san jose when i saw something about this on the news. we have plasma screens showing sky news i think it is in the bar but no sound so i never really knew what was happening just saw stoney cove and accident. Thanks for the fill in!

BSI stands for "body substance isolation" in the rescue business.
