Every time I read about fatalities like these I really feel sad and bad because how can one lose his life doing the sport we all love It's harder to believe especially cause we are talking about 2 accomplished divers.
Any foul play involved perhaps?
My thoughts and prayers to the deceased and to their love ones.
Very sorry to hear this news, I did a PADI course with Steve just one month ago. I liked him a lot and he struck me as a very good and responsible diver.
I found this site while searching for news and information on the accident. I am in Texas and have been in contact with Steve's Dad since he received the news. Our town and friends have ralleyed for the family, and his Dad, who is 78, is now on his way to the Phillipines. I have read that a few of you have dived with Steve, and have respect for him. If you have a moment to tell any stories of time that you spent with Steve, please email them and I will make sure that his dad gets them. In this time it would help him to know that he was a respected diver.
So sad. Only yesterday I was watching a six part series of two divers exploring the New York, posted on YouTube. Several times while watching I imagined being trapped inside the hull of that massive wreck and felt my stomach sink. I can only imagine the horror they felt.

All of the information is very helpful from the divers talking here, and I am printing copies of this thread for StvBrit's Dad. He may find comfort reading this at a later time. It sounds like a lot of you guys have been out diving with Steve, and if you have a moment to share any stories, the family would appreciate them. I will make sure that his Dad gets them.
My thoughts are with the families, friends and colleagues of Steve and Tin.
Subic will a poorer place for Steve's absence, as will SB, where he contributed so much good information over the years. The diving community has lost a good pioneer and popular educator.
My deepest respects for the dive crew at Boardwalk Dive Centre, for conducting such an efficient and swift recovery. They deserve to be proud of their efforts - its never an easy task.
