I am just a recreational diver, some days I have better dives than others. I think the focus of this topic should be the loss of the divers, not what we have or haven't done. I'm sorry if I dragged us off topic.

That's for the "Passings" forum. Accidents and Incidents is for exactly the type of discussion we're seeing here. From the Special rules for A&I:
The purpose of this forum is the promotion of safe diving through the examination and discussion of accidents and incidents; to find lessons we can apply to our own diving.
 
I just received news from 'people' that know 'people' that one of the divers was actually cave certified and has dived in some serious cave diving with 'people'.
This then makes this accident much more inexplicable. All I can say is faulty decision making.

For those willing to better understand limits and the cost of going beyond, scubatech philippines just republished a good article by R.D. Milhollin named the Sheck Exley's Razor
Sheck Exley's Razor - The Nature of Limits

Also I did write a small piece on divers' decision making and risk management on Tech Diving Mag issue 24 pg. 15, mutating my aeronautical knowledge on those two topics to the diving field. It has served me well, hope it might help someone else.
