    Legal considerations for the Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    I meant if the divers had or paid for the additional coverage for the travel injury or accidental death while diving. Does it only cover while actually diving? I don't think it's a life insurance thing as much as insurance for recovery and repatriation of remains but I would have to go back and...

    Legal considerations for the Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    Oh ok, thanks for clarifying. I thought an early report said the doors were closed but they could see through them, hence the confusion.

    Legal considerations for the Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    Looks like it's the only crew exit was from wheel house. Unconfirmed media reports indicate first crewman to notice fire allegedly reports he cooked and cleaned up galley then went up to bed in wheelhouse around 2:30. He wakes up 30 mins later by what he described as loud noise that 'sounded...

    Legal considerations for the Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    What tonnage does this apply to? Escalators an elevators? Even before the fire, I would never have gone on a boat with this lay out no matter how good the reviews were just from the pictures of the tight quarters below waterline, with just one exit. The bunk room boats literally make me...

    Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    Crew said all doors and windows to galley/salon deck were closed, yet they awoke to raging inferno, ceiling tiles already burning so it's flashed over, and their ladder from wheel house/sun bridge which is outside of the galley/salon enclosed area is fully engulfed. I'm not going to comment on...

    1) please remember these were beautiful people with a passion for diving who were snatch away from their family and friends in the prime of their life by a horrible event that their loved ones haven't even begun to process.

    Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    I did, but honestly only because I'm overly cautious. When I was a kid, my parents boat caught fire in the middle of the night. They were sleeping, and were saved because they made a rare decision to dock for the night at the Annapolis city pier instead of anchoring out in the bay. Someone woke...

    Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    I think people can choose if they want to dive in these style boats, pending a completion of NTSB investigation. I've never been on a live aboard with this set up. For me personally, being from the east coast, I would not have been comfortable with this set up for lack of egress options...

    Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    No, there was not. There is a single narrow staircase, which leads from the bunk room up to the very front starboard side, interior corner of the galley/ main salon. Apparently, passengers had to walk from the stern, through the salon and wall of the galley closest to the bow, then ingress or...

    Infantry -- Don't panic, just be happy if your flight takes off on time. You will have to go into town to drop off a copy of your C Card when you arrive anyway. Christi is very flexible, and they are super professional. Have an awesome trip :)

    Cozumel in December 2009

    La Verenda for Dinner Guidos for Lunch or Dinner Kinta for Dinner- You will probably need a reservation (may still be closed for remodel/ expansion) Prima was good but I think they relocated closer to the beach and not sure if menu has changed.

    SUDS / OBT needs your help - Dive with Wounded Warriors

    I have been trying to find more information on the SUDS program with little luck. I'm law enforcement, not military, but have spent a good bit of time at Wally World with my dad (an Army Staff Sgt) over the years. Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval Hospital are both within an hour of home and I...
