Fatality Horseshoe Bay May 21/10

[Julian55]

I was not passing judgement at all. It is just so important and can never be underestimated to be prepared. I think their have been times when I have been over confident that something like this would never happen to me, but it can happen to anyone. Very sad for the family and everyone involved.

This is NOT the official version but I will say this:

New diver with approximately 10 dives. Night dive at Ansell Point (advanced site for those who don't know Ansell). Spearfishing at 150'. Dropped spear gun at 150' and went after it.

The rest you know.

Say no more.

Thanks Henry.

If that is the likely case (not official), then it makes sense now.

I was not over seeing this dive, had I been this would not have happened. I have 25years experience in diving.
I was there with the investigation team.
I would love to meet with divers who have been to this site as I have sooooo many questions.

I would also like to know if anyone planning a dive anytime soon to Ansell

 

[bighiller]

Anything you want to know in particular?
