Yes body recovered by State Police using a ROV.@tridacna Was his buddy ever recovered. I thought I read somewhere that the diver was in some sort of cave and was entangled. I have watched his videos from Tillys. Not even close to good conditions at the bottom.
The facts as reported by the first responder, who was called by the GF of the deceased diver, which is a heck of a lot more than what you're suggesting.
The responder knew nothing about diving. Even less about rebreathers. That report was meaningless. Remember the facts seldom appear on SB. If you think you know better or want to keep disparaging him, PM Dan on FB and get his take.
Tell him "Thanks!" for getting access to Diepolder closed.It's kinda funny. I know Dan pretty well and I know what happened that day. Reading the vituperative comments on the board from people who have no idea what happened is truly amazing. Yes, Dan can be a blunderbuss and a bit cantankerous at times but generally he's a pretty nice guy who had no ill intention that day. Problem is that the deceased made some stupid errors and people are looking for a scapegoat. Good luck pursuing it. Going nowhere.
Diepolder
Cave system located in Florida on property owned by the Boy Scouts of America.What's Diepolder?
owned by the Boy Scouts of America.
You mean "Scouts of America" girls can join now along with everything else under the technicolor rainbow.
Just because his "take" on the events isnt the narrative that is portrayed, doesn't make his response anymore acceptable. I know that if I was a family member if the deceased, I would be holding him accountable in some way.
I have a story myself that I will be posting shortly on the lessons learned about my father.
