If I should die while diving.

[500 PSI]

Uncle Pug your the best, I'll keep the post in my dive log too.
May you live to dive another 100 years.

If you die first, we're splitting up your gear!

If I should die while diving:

For God's sake don't cut my gear off me...give it to someone who will use it.

Spend the insurance money on something fun first.

Don't cry...waste of salt water.

Don't repeat my mistake!

I first read this when it was posted on the other board.
It motivated me to try to be a better buddy then.
Thanks for reposting it here...

If I should die while diving.

If I should die while diving please do not hesitate to discuss the incident and assess every element with a view to furthering your understanding of how to enhance diver safety.

If I should die while diving get the facts. They won't be readily available and will definitely not be correct as reported by the media. But get the facts as best you can.

If I should die while diving understand, as I already do, that it will most likely involve fault on my part to some degree or another so do not hesitate to point that out.

If I should die while diving some of the fault will probably belong to my buddy and that needs to be honestly assessed as well though I must admit this is one area where I hope that compassion will be in the mix.

If I should die while diving there might be those who try to squelch discussion out of a misplaced notion of respect for the deceased, family and friends. They can say nice things about me at my funeral... but in the scuba community I want the incident discussed.

If I should die while diving at least I didn't die in bed.

Amen

BTW, if you did die today I would still be..."lost, even with a compass"

Ooops.... I forgot about that.... did you want me to change your title to something else?

(snicker)... it doesn't bother me, but if it makes you then knock yourself out.

 

[Uncle Pug]

Ok

Thanks Uncle Pug, what a succinct and relevant reminder for all of us about where dive investigations should go - and how -

I will be sharing this with dive friends - not all of whom, regrettably - visit Scubaboard regularly.
