Regardless, if they had the werewithall to get to the surface then what happened afterwards that resulted in their sinking and subsequent drownings? Is it training, equipment failure or poor design? Did they actually sink or simply were unable to maintain an airway?
My point is that the RC life bouy requires the diver to grab it and hold on to it and if they can do that then they can inflate the BC and drop weight. A human buddy or rescuer can maintain an airway and assist semiconscious or unconscious diver, that RC bouy cannot.
So my question remains, that bouy is cute but it will be of no use with an incapacitated diver. Why did they sink after reaching the surface?
The answer to that question is the answer to saving the life of the diver.
