Anybody know the current trial date?

I did not talk about anybody being at fault. I’m just trying to unravel the mystery. 1) If They both got DCS, how did one of them not require some kind of Recompression therapy? Oxygen alone can’t cure, right? 2) if not DCS, then what? C02, or O2 toxicity? His computer says no problem. 3)...

I believe it. I hate to see the ghost gear. I always stop and try to open them up.

Lobster gear both active and ghost. Plus a large amount of fishing line entangled in fore mentioned gear.

So far we know nothing and probably, given the history of authority in this area, we won’t ever really know. Several fatalities here have been entanglement, it’s a real hazard in this area. We were just discussing that as a possibility

Sad thing is most boats ignore the Dive flag. Last time I dove rockport I surfaced and my flag was bouncing against a lobster boat. My wife had been yelling at him to stay away and we had a giant Dive flag from our boat. He just kept mouthing obscenities. It was witnessed from shore by police...

You rarely ever get any details on diving accidents in Massachusetts. I think the State Police keep it to themselves. So many divers die up here due to entanglement. No knife or cutting tool. I usually dive with 3 knives. Amount of lobster traps are ridiculous. Boating hazard. They could...

1970s I bought one of the first aluminum tanks made by US Divers Total crap. Buoyancy changed so much during Dive. Plus tank band had electrolysis like crazy. I was a working Dive kid and really wasted some hard earned money.

I have thousands of dives and very long ago stopped saving every detail. Now I just use excel spreadsheets to record place/date. Got a page for just my international travel dives, that’s the only interesting one for me these days. If I want to check my profile on a particular Dive I will upload...

Keep racking my brains about their surface distress....keeps coming up DCS. Since computer shows good ppO2. So this would mean Sotis was bent. How did he get treated? Secret trip to a chamber? So many HIPPA privacy laws maybe they can’t disclose? In water decompression? Seems crazy but this...

Forgive me for being somewhat ignorant to Rebreathers: 1) That said, if a rebreather diver surfaces is there not a way for him to fill his "wings/BCD/drysuit" with enough air to overcome anything including any part of his rebreather 'flooding"? He was buoyant enough to remain at deco stop for 7...

What year is this equipment?

Still available?

Like I said in my post, there are many such people out there who have unfortunately forgotten what honor is. All I can say to you is consider if he was helping to save your son, daughter, wife, etc.? He didnt die for the operation....he died helping a military brother. Captain USAir Force...

Kwinter please consider: 1) are the 1st responders that entered the trade center stupid? suicidal? 2) was my military college roomate, later army officer, that died in Desert Storm by taking a cluster bomb away from one of his troops who picked it up, and then it went off and killed him...

Still not too late...hope they find him alive.

It does appear to be reefed down which only goes to indicate rough windy conditions. I agree that it looks like a MOB situation. Jacklines and PFD in this type of solo encountered conditions would be essential IMHO. But I remember a sad statistic from my Boating Safety Certification (many...

The picture in the News article seems to show that the Main Sail was still deployed, suggesting that this was a boating accident as opposed to a diving accident.

Second hand info from a friend of a rescuer. May not be totally accurate but I put it out there: "Seems that he got caught up in the lines to his two scallop bags which were loaded with >50lbs each." If this is true I wonder why no knife? I also wonder how much air he tried surfacing with...

If it were me I would make an appointment with an ENT and have my ears examined by a specialist. While it may be BPPV your symptoms may also be explained by other types of Barotrauma such as aquired Perilymph fistula. Given: 1. new divers have most problems with equalization trauma 2. You...
