My condolences to the friends and family of the deceased.
Shane,
I did not know you before this last weekend, but we seemed to click immediately. You liked the camp chairs I brought--so comfortable, you said. I don't know what it was, but I liked you so much from the moment we met. I will never look upon those chairs again without thinking of you.
Saturday morning in the sleeping room, I lay there half awake, watching as the people from the first team scheduled to enter got up from their cots one by one. You were the last from that team, but I could still see how eager you were for that dive.
Sunday morning in the sleeping room I did the same, watching as the others got up one by one. I finally did, too. I sat on the edge of my cot and looked at the empty cot beside me. What was there to say? Today we were going to bring you home. Time to start.
Too much of water hast thou, poor Shane,
And therefore I forbid my tears.

I met him once, and only in passing. I liked the man and am sad to see him go.

It's a tragic loss. Condolences to all. Rest In Piece and continue exploring in the afterlife...
My prayers to Shane's family, team and friends. I didn't know Shane, but I know John and can sympathize and grieve with him...so sad.
boulderjohn, this is such a bittersweet memory. I am a non-diver, but my husband and Shane dove together and we have been friends for over 15 years. Thank you for posting this, anyone who knew Shane understands exactly how you feel. I'm sorry for the team's loss and my deepest sympathies to Shane's family. He touched many lives and I know many are feeling the shock and sadness that we are.
