Quotation re death while diving vs death while sleeping

[divad]

If I should die while diving.

If I should die while diving please do not hesitate to discuss the incident and assess every element with a view to furthering your understanding of how to enhance diver safety.

If I should die while diving get the facts. They won't be readily available and will definitely not be correct as reported by the media. But get the facts as best you can.

If I should die while diving understand, as I already do, that it will most likely involve fault on my part to some degree or another so do not hesitate to point that out.

If I should die while diving some of the fault will probably belong to my buddy and that needs to be honestly assessed as well though I must admit this is one area where I hope that compassion will be in the mix.

If I should die while diving there might be those who try to squelch discussion out of a misplaced notion of respect for the deceased, family and friends. They can say nice things about me at my funeral... but in the scuba community I want the incident discussed.

If I should die while diving at least I didn't die in bed.

Gonna blame your buddy when you're not even in the ground yet? Your buddy's wife and children thank you very much. Remind me to dive solo.

It's not my quotation.......but I like it.

Remind me to dive solo.

Only if you have PADI course... No other course is authorized...

 

[ScubaSteve]

Only if you have PADI course... No other course is authorized...

If PADI you cannot dive solo.....only Self-Reliantly.

If you die in bed, It won't be covered on NY1, let alone as a sleeping accident.

 

[letterboy]

Which by default would lead me to believe it is impossible to dive solo. If PADI says no it is not legal, right?

PADI does not authorize dying while diving so it can not be done.

It's not my quotation.......but I like it.

... I believe it's something Uncle Pug wrote several years ago ...

Don't count PADI short, PADI is always evolving and upgrading, if they see enough of a market for a course in 'Dying while diving' I would expect them to roll one out.
