    Jim Miller 11 June 2011

    A diver named Jim Miller convulsed and drowned at 200 feet, breathing on a 70 ft bottle.

    He was brought back to the surface but could not be revived.

    A sad day for all, prayers for his soul, his family and companions.

    This is a terrible tragedy for his family and friends.

    I hope some information is gathered about how this could happen. The rules and protocols the WKPP operates under are designed to prevent things like this.

    It is always a hard hit when we lose a fellow cave diver. This one is especially tragic. Prayers aloft for the family and friends.
    Love,

    I worked with and knew Jim pretty well. This is tragic as he was one of the best Cave divers in the business. He had been diving with WKPP for years and dove with the best. I hope we learn more about he bottle he dropped at 70Ft., and then which bottle he was breathing.. This is quite unexplainable knowing Jim and knowing what i know of the team.
