You were credible up until this comment. They are by far the most reprehensible and irresponsible source for "news" I have ever read.
Unfortunately for all of us, we will never know what was in the diver's mind when he ditched his gear on the deck. We only know that the final outcome was his regrettable demise.
Too often, divers make a series of horrible decisions and yet somehow survive the incidents. Somehow, these experiences never seem to educate them into becoming safe divers. Familiarity with multiple close calls often breeds a certain contempt for them that is seen by many as a cowboy or cavalier attitude towards safety.
His gear was found floating in the Gulf By Blue Water Explorers of Cortez, FL by Capt Bob Eskew. Assisting in the search, his crew found the spear gun on top of the wreck indicting he entered the overturned wreck through the loading ramp. His gear was found floating with tank empty, possibly due to free flow. Coasties found the body inside the wreck at 11:30am Sunday...I was there. Scuba Diving News :: CDNN - Cyber Diver News Network is a great place for dive news. Read the article about this mishap. I was the interview

BB - you're not going to find many an experienced diver to take CDNN seriously. You'll be hardpressed to say the least - as a couple of posters before ,e intimated. If you were there, please let us know why you were on a recovery mission... Also it would be most appreciated if you could give a detailed account as YOU saw it. Kind of "just the facts" Thanks. -MD
Very curious why this rig was "floating" but empty...
Great news for vacation divers who cannot talk themselves into buying a personal CO tank tester!
>> Rent one for a week or longer here <<
Now let's see more CO readings in your trip reports, ok...??
