Diver Indicted in 2003 GBR mishap

[Dan Watkins]

I caught it. I also greatly doubt the plausibility of his story. I've been with a panic'd person before, they don't just drift off and sink.

Also the sinking faster than he could keep up is total BS, and her being too heavy when you can't feel weight in water like that.

And lastly, what would be the big deal in going to the bottom instead of taking a leisurely ascent to the surface.

And the fact that his dive computer does not correlate to his story...

The whole scenario is just crazy.

Total BS I was just more and more pissed off. Him being a rescue diver and not taking care of his wife OMG what a dooC^&bag. If it was my wife I would have kicked as hard as I could to get a hold of her and inflated her BC or whatever I needed to do to get her up.

This guy is a looser and a big fat lier. I hope he gets what he deserves.

page 4:

.....Ken Snyder and Doug Milsap are divers with 25 years of experience and both can claim the highest level of certification in their sport: dive master.....

I heard that on the news but just ignored that part. It was chris hansen that was covering it; the same guy that does the "to catch a predator" thing.

My wife and I watched it too. I think that he's not telling the whole truth, probably not much of it actually.

I watched and thought his story was pretty transparent, especially with his experience and training. She was also like so many other females you see who got certified because their boyfriends or husbands wanted them to. She did what he wanted her to do out of love and lost her life for it.

for now, im inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt

he panic'd and didnt handle the situation in a text book manner - but this was the person he loved and who knows the stress involved in a situation like this, afterall stress and panic affects people differently

I only caught the tail end. What was his excuse for letting her sink?

 

[Scared Silly]

The wife and I watched this. Good thing I up her life insurance last fall . She upped mine as well

Did any one else catch this gem??
