The suit would never have been prevented. The parents knew of his certifications well before filing the suit. I barely speak to my father and he knows of all my certifications.

Already posted in this thread, post #199. I guess you don't read the posts?I have been keeping busy (aside from teaching) writing the occasional article. Here's my latest in X-Ray.
Who was really responsible for the death of Rob Stewart?
Actually if that information was publically available, didn't Sotis have a duty to deny Stewart training on the rEvo? All Sotis had to do was a 10 minute Google Search just like you did. Stewart was a public figure and the information was publically available. The facts that he was trained on different units doesn't mean that Stewart could skip Mod 1 on the rEvo.Regrettably, I have to announce that the distribution of my book "The Third Dive" has been postponed until November 10th. Apparently the books are sitting in a warehouse but there has been a snafu on the process of getting them out. For those who pre-ordered, my apologies. In the meantime, I have been keeping busy (aside from teaching) writing the occasional article. Here's my latest in X-Ray.

Who did that 10 minute google search? Yes, the information that lead to the knowledge that Stewart lied on his medical is in the public domain. It took 3 years for that to come to light. Have you read Stewart’s book? Has anyone you knew ever read Stewart’s book? Do you think Training agencies give up information freely to authors? I believe it was here in this thread that a SB user finally got Stewart’s instructor info out of TDI.Actually if that information was publically available, didn't Sotis have a duty to deny Stewart training on the rEvo?

So now we have to Google search our students to make sure they’re not lying on their medical forms? Really ?

I had not heard that either. In fact, I’m pretty sure he had completed mod 1 and was in mod 2. And Sotis has his card issued but had not given it to him. Not a strange circumstance by any means.I hadn’t heard that he “skipped mod 1” on the Revo. I thought Sotis had done his initial Revo training.
