Training Scuba Ranch Incident Report

[kinoons]

agree 100%, I am..shall we say a very qualified and experienced instructor, Instructor trainer, rec, tech, and PSD. Sat on the training committee for NAUI, the board of NAUI, the RSTC board and also on the International Training "Training advisory panel".

I have a daughter.

Know what I didn't do? Teach her to dive. For all the reasons you mentioned.

I had a friend I trusted do it with a 1 to 1 ratio in what can only be described in as close to perfect conditions as you can get when she was 13.

I did not go in the water on the dives, as much as it was killing me inside. Because was better for her learning and my friends teaching.

This.

I’m only an ow diver. When my daughter got certified the instructor said I would only be allowed in the water on her final training dive after she had successfully demonstrated all the needed skills.

Simply put a family member is only a distraction.

If I have this right:

The little girl's dive computer is in custody, but as of last week the data hasn't been analyzed.

The DM's computer went missing in the bottom of a 90 foot lake.

So they have the instructor's computer. But on October 1, Danny Howard of the Kaufman County Sheriff's office said that no data is to be recovered."

Why can't the instructor's computer data be recovered? What's the glitch?
