Chuck,
Thanks for the link, I read it and am in complete sadness for the victims family. I now conclude that Monestary beach is extremely dangerous when those factors of weather and lack of knowledge of the beach come into play.
I just don't understand why an experienced diver like Diaz would attempt to enter those types of swells.
The only thing I can think about is motivation; this is speculation but flying in from Las Vegas eager to meet up with two other dive buddys and get some dives in before leaving back to Vegas becomes irresitable, they are not intimidated by the swells since they have dove this beach before. Thinking they can pass through the surf to get to beautiful deep water is like the syrens calling in the sailors in Greek mythologies.
I know what it's like to want to dive, I've been having an eager feeling to dive this weekend even though my dive buddy is out of town. Thats already one strike against my better judgement.
