A very sad reminder of the golden rule of scuba.

21 years ago today and I still am haunted by this dive. The information from Andyman is wrong . I’m trying to find posts about this dayI am also wanting to know what exactly happened and what shop he was with. I was diving up there when it happened on another wreck and heard from the dive shop when we returned for air what had happened. At that point, the one diver was 1/2 an hour late from surfacing and two divers that had stayed down looking for him were in bad shape (or at least that is what they were saying at the time. Other than that we were not able to find out anything.
I hope to G-d I am never put in a position like that! There was a huge lump in my throat when I read her account, and the subsequent answers she posted to people. I don't know how she's able to do that.
What courage she has. Thank G-d she's alive to tell the tale. How many people could do what she did? I don't know if I could...
It really hits home for people like me who's dive bud is also their significant other. As Instructors/Instructor Trainers we practice OOAs & buddy breathing for demos in the pool, but this really drives home the need to practice in open water too.

I have been on ScubaBoard longer than only a handful of people, but this thread is from before my time. As I read it, your post was actually made on another forum, and people only referred to it here. From what was mentioned earlier, I would bet it was Rodale's, an old scuba discussion forum that no longer exists. The links now lead to scubadiving.com, which is essentially PADI. They do not have a discussion forum at that site.Can someone help me find my post please? It’s 21 years ago today
