Thank you Pedro. I knew the questions would come in right away about what equipment the diver was using and I simply put rebreather. It was not intended as some sort of judgement whatsoever, which is also why I did not name the manufacturer.
Steve, you're being overly sensitive, IMHO. I can answer most of your questions, but I have not decided yet what should be shared before the report comes out, due to exactly what has happened in this thread already. If you want to speak privately, we can do that. We have a rb instructor and rb pilots on hand that we are consulting. All equipment was secured at the scene, is in police custody and will be examined by experts of their choosing.
