Diver missing at Cove 2, West Seattle

[mcguiver]

I dive there often, and have never been afforded that type of viz, usually it is no more than 10 feet, occasionally 15 down on the I-beams. Bob, you are lucky to be there at the right time!! Since the city rebuilt the small ferry dock there, the bottom was ripped up and silts easily. Does anyone know who the certifying agency was?

It was a PADI training course.

Does PADI do investigation when accidents happen during training? I read somewhere in this post that this is not the first death for this shop - that should throw a huge red flag up to PADI.

Sorry for being so direct, but are we talking about Seattle Scuba Schools here?

Hello everyone,

I know i am digging up an old topic from 10 years ago and I apologize for doing so.

I am an old childhood friend of the diver who passed in this accident and to this day I still wonder what actually happened...and how...

I read all 13 pages pages and thank you all for the detailed explanations on what you believe may have happened.

I would like to know if there was ever a final story to it all. Something verified as to what exactly happened following the investigations and testimonies of those who were with him at the time of the tragedy?

Many thanks.
