Hood Canal fatality - Washington

[DandyDon]

Sounds like a training dive, as an Instructor was part of the group - but the news story doesn't make it clear?

The news article does mention a "fatal accident a week ago," but it was reported on this thread http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/ac...3223-hood-canal-diver-rescued-washington.html that she survived. More casual news work I suppose.

The news report is in error ... the accident the previous week was not fatal. There's a thread on it in here, and someone known to the woman involved posted about what happened and the outcome.

Ok, so it was a training dive - for basic Open Water certification. Unfortunate...

Indeed ... this particular dive site is very popular for classes, due to a general lack of current ...
