    Almost sure no usable information will ever come to light IMHO. I am not trying to be negative but the trend with this tread generally only leads to speculation. I wish someone would make it compulsory that diving fatality information become public. This WILL help reduce the very high fatality number. I know that there are millions of divers, but the number of deaths globally is staggering!!!!

    RIP - Very sad day again!!

    Nick,

    I meant no offense, just trying to shutdown the Mix vs Air question. There's no reason for a CCR diver to dive deep air. I don't know any CCR divers that would even consider it.

    My condolences to his family and friends.

    I'm sitting here having a cup of K'au coffee in memoriam, in a Doria second class cup right now.
