In memory of Stephen Anderson, 16, and Keegan Aiazzi, 17 of Carson City, Nevada
Nearly 100 friends and family gathered in Carson City (Saturday) night for a make-shift memorial.
On Sunday, students filtered in and out of Carson High's campus, laying flowers at the entrance. They plan to meet tomorrow at 6:50 a.m. Monday to place candles and flowers at Keegan and Stephen's parking spots.
There are many stories on the net about this sad loss of the two varsity football players. My condolences to boys' grieving families and multitude of friends, as well as the divers, Coast Guard, police, firemen, medics and others who recovered the boys, attempted rescue, or even witnessed the sad day.
Great news for vacation divers who cannot talk themselves into buying a personal CO tank tester!

Now let's see more CO readings in your trip reports, ok...??
If leading dives is herding cats, is leading training dives herding Schrodinger's cats?
And the SB Politeness Award goes to . . . Doc Vikingo, for "I find this assertion not compelling." The measure of a good dive plan is its impermeability.
Poor dive plans, on the other hand, tend to be water-soluble.

My condolences to all involved, including responders and the boys' instructors. You've said it well.

My daughter's family thinks I am a silly mother hen at times worrying about their well being. I explain that they are really all I have and I couldn't stand to lose any of them. I have a grandson the same age as these boys who does not listen to cautions at all, pulls some really wild stunts, and recently totaled his first vehicle so I feel I have reasons for concern - but I guess you gotta just hope for the best at times. I wonder what my dad told my mom when I rolled my first car or went thru my motorcycle phase? Can't ask either now.

Different threads, different forums, different reasons. Please refer to the description on this forum.

No...he started a thread in "Passings" to express sympathy/grief for the two boys who died in the accident.
The other thread is in "Accidents and Incidents", its purpose is to invite constructive analysis so that other dives may learn, if possible, from the tragedy.
My best wishes to their families. This is a big eye opener for me being only 16 and diving every weekend, it can show you just how fast things can go wrong.
