    I read it, kinda interesting, esp. since I didn't know any of the details, I just heard about the accident. What's all the commotion about?

    Haven't read it yet

    I think this thread has something to do with it though. If someone else has read it, please give us some more info from the article.

    Hmmm.

    From the other thread, it sounds like some people are angry with the media (SI) on their reporting, specifically that 80/20 was used instead of trimix for the deep safety divers. The only thing I've seen is that the article stated the freediving team cut corners on safety on an almost regular basis, and that was confirmed with other freediving organizations/freedivers.

    Thumbs up You have to read the story

    Overblow.....junk....about a couple of nutcases who just happened to be divers. I wish these lovebirds could have been skydivers. The whole thing should have been on daytime TV.
