If I were you I might have posted the story, to keep people from diving with her...for their safety.
YES, you did the right thing, and quite tactfully too. Not only for her but for any potential buddies she may have. She sounds like a loose cannon and is an accident waiting to happen.
I was just thinking the same thing.

I think you did the right thing....warning potential buddies about her background should not make you feel guilty....she should feel guilty about putting unsuspecting people in danger herself. However, she doesn't sound like the kind of buddy that anyone would want to dive with (unless she does not disclose the fact that she doesn't actually stay with her buddies, in which case, you should probably warn about that fact as well!).
OP
No, she does NOT warn anybody she likes to do her own thing. She didn't tell us until we tried several times to find out why she didn't stay with us. I looked at her post just now, and she responded to my question with, "The Nuerologist said 2 months, so that puts me at September 25. On the other hand, the psychologist said... " Actually, our first dive was July 25, so she's taking the 2 months to mean from our first day of diving rather than the day of the accident....
So, I'm hearing that I should maybe write a blog on that board posting the accident (without mentioning her name and letting others put the missing pieces, such as names, together?) Some of the people on the board know of our trip together.

Thank you for warning others. There is no doubt that you did the right thing. If you start to wonder if you did the right thing or not ask yourself if you would want your family members diving with her.
OP
I refuse to dive with her again. The other three buddies are coming down to Florida for a "reunion" and to dive with me here in our beautiful water. She was not invited, nor will she ever be. I don't hold anything against people who have accidents, but people who "invite" them and don't learn from them will not share me as a buddy a second time.
