    Missing Diver in Rutlant, Vt Quarry

    New England Cable News reports a missing diver in a Rutland, VT quarry. They gave a name of Tom Gagnon. Any one have any updates?

    I've dove this site. Can see how can happen easily.

    Tim's from my LDS. I know him well, and it's creepy to hear his name associated with such a story.

    No update to report yet though. We're all still kind of hoping for the miracle.

    Excuse me, it's Tim. Not Tom. Tim Gagnon, 43, of Northwood, N.H.. Was found in caves of quarry by recovery divers. Not a recreational dive.

    Certainly this is personal, so if I am mistaking your comment, please forgive me. But please don't be dismissive of the fact that Tim was cave diving. There is a cave diving certification and people can and do get training to dive in caves. Tim did. In addition to many other certs. It's a great loss.

    very tragic indeed, and my thoughts go out to his family and friends

    the report says they had trouble at depth, and that his buddy came up thinking
    that Tim was following close behind. at the surface, he realized Tim wasn't following.

    Very sad news.. I dive in probably the same quarry (not sure if it's the same one, but there is "the quarry" in Rutland often called Big Blue that's popular with divers and I know there are 'caves' there).
    Original sin?
    No, I don't think so.

    Original sinsuality.
