Virginia Beach Diver In Critical Condition

Yes, other than what little I've shared.

Does anyone have updates on this story-- conditions of divers. Thanks

It is kind of shallow to expect a refund when someone's life is on the line. I have assisted a diver with suspected DCI on a deep wreck dive, and I went to the hospital with her via ambulance. Everyone on the boat was concerned for her welfare and I was assisted as needed by other divers to contribute to her care. My thanks was knowing that she was treated and released later that evening. Her dive buddy gave me a bottle of fine wine (totally unnecessary, but a thoughtful gesture).

This seems a discussion to be held elsewhere. There are valid claims to be made for both sides when a crisis at sea cuts short a dive.

From what I have heard the 65yo diver is making a complete recovery, was in the hospital, alert & talking about it, seems to remember everything, which seems hard to believe.

I would expect that the younger diver should be doing fine also, but have not heard anything about him.
