I also agree that the Shadow Divers account sounds more plausible and that Kurson and his "editorial eyes" would be unlikely not to have checked The Last Dive & other publications for such descrepancies. Once again, I am not a coastie but I would think a rescue copter could accomendate two or more victims. In addition, it would seem Chris Rouse could have easily been led to believe a second copter was soon to be on the scene to pickup his father
OK. I will pose the question to Mr. Chowdhury. The technical diving community at their level is very small and for the most part tight so I am not really expecting much of an answer but I am often wrong... By the way, every since you acquired that expensive box you have been scarce yourself!
