so a thorough accounting of the facts as known now...

couple went diving, one retired one not. dive was on one of two wrecks. depth was ~100 feet. mix was possibly 30% nitrox. after expected return to dive boat bubbles stopped. (current could not have been to bad if boat could see bubbles from mooring) diver sent down. divers found unresponsive. CPR failed to revive. Boat took back to dock per coast guard. divers pronounced dead.

The hydro tester does thousands of fire extinquisher tests and just a couple of handfuls of scuba tank tests. They don't change and clean the water out of the pressure vessel and was probably the source.

That is pretty speculative. The hydro shop I used did thousands of O2 cylinders tests. Their procedures were probably different.

Totally off topic, but when I last dove with Discovery (I believe Sept. 2019) they told me they were retiring the 6 pack boat and would only be using the bigger boat after last season...
