Our prayers go out to his family.

Wow, that is a real tragedy to both the diving and research community.
My prayers go out to the family.
It is very hard to understand how an experienced diver like
David could succumb to such an event. It reminds all of us
the inherent danger in diving and the need to be ever vigilant
of our equipment and abilities.

He had 120 dives on the Doria. Stuff happens, and even the most finely tuned dive plans can go awry.

My prayers go out to the family. Never had the opportunity to meet Dave.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and all of his diving and non diving friends.

I saw this in the LA Times today. According to the obituary, the diver had DCS and went into cardiac arrest....the autopsy has not been completed yet to determine the true cause of death....very sad indeed....
