When diving those depths and temps, are there required cold water regs that are part of everyone's gear? If someone showed up on the boat in a reg that absolutely couldn't handle those temps, would they be pulled aside and told they're not going to dive? I don't dive that cold so I don't know about cold water regs.
I think it is high time that this speculation about what happened stop. Only 3 people know what happen exactly and one of them are dead. Please send your respects to the family and for the love of god come up with better ways to reduce the risks of this happening again ie training and the balls to say no to someone IF they arent ready for the dive.
Country Diver:Things don't jive. Report says that it was not a charter, yet we have emails from Tuesday night that its a scheduled charter.

Hello everyone,
I am the OUC (Ontario Underwater Council) regional representative for Ontario South which is where this tragic accident occurred.
I think we all need to stand behind the family at this their time of need and do all that we can to ensure that this tragedy never happens again. Perhaps when we know the true story of what happened, we will be able to make recommendations as to how to prevent this from ever happening again. Please be sure to check out the OUC website to check out the incident report which will continue to be updated as further information becomes available.
We must also be sure to take into account the other two parties that were involved and provide our support to them.
okay, good to meet you. ... but this is a accident analysis forum. You wouldn't happen to know any more facts would you?
