Eena Karras

[Mahidoodi]

She worked in the same office as I do. I just don't see how publishing her name would help this discussion. If the point of this discussion or any accident report is to first of all report an unfortunate accident and secondly to learn from it we accomplished the first part in the first couple of posts. The part about learning can only be done when we know all the facts. I've read 8 pages of commentary and it amazes me how we freely offer opinions based on some assumptions.

Services are planned in her honor tomorrow. Pray for her soul and hope for the best for all involved.

Mahidoodi -
I am very sorry for your loss. I've done nothing but think about Eena since Sunday, nonstop.

I've spent all week looking online at beautiful pictures of her, her family, and her friends. If I had a wish, I'd spend it on changing the events of that day. It is clear an important person in this world has been lost. You should know this community of divers, diving instructors, and medical professionals did heroic and in some cases nearly super-human things to save her. Whether or not posting her name was appropriate I don't know, but it does humanize the story and remind us a beautiful person was taken too soon.

Unfortunately, with most diving accidents we never get all the facts. If, as a community, we presented no theories and tested no hypothesis we would not advance the safety of the sport without serious accidents which were fully able to be documented. Earlier posters began a discussion about how to properly apply the standards and training objectives of our respective training programs. Talking through the use cases, application of standards, and local methodologies are all relevant topics as it pertains to this accident, and any accident where a significant injury occurs. There has to be a place, or medium for these discussions and regrettably you've pointed your browser to the location. It would be best for those who knew Eena not to read this thread or the replies. Unfortunately, there is no way to stop the curious.

I would extend my heart to the family and friends, but it is broken.

Mahidoodi,

I would just like to add my condolences to everyone who knew her. Even those of us who did not know her are grieving. I must admit seeing what a vibrant, kind and loving soul she is makes the loss seem even more tragic. I have to believe that she first and foremost would want comfort for her loved ones, but I think she would also want us to learn from what happened so that it may help in preventing such a tragedy from happening to even one other family.

I continue to hope and pray that her loved ones can find comfort during this difficult time.
