As said previously, and you seem to agree Wookie, it just doesn't seem "kosher" to have people who are potentially involved in a law suit also recover the body, ESPECIALLY, (as you point out), when there is a lot of other talent available. Not to mention, then to proceed with unauthorized...

As per the coroner, he tried to call and emailed to tell them they are NOT authorized to do the recovery. Funny how that message was "overlooked" until after the recovery.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Overlooking or not reacting to one piece invalidates everything?

Just like Zef, I note in my dive log what I was diving and how much weight I was using. Adding an extra layer to my base ware (mostly wicking layer) will add #2.

What "kills" me is when the water is warmer than ambient air and I am diving wet! Nothing like climbing up the ladder and my head freezing followed by the rest of me. I used to get so chilled, that I couldn't make the second dive. What to do? 1. Consider diving dry - I would not even crack the...

I am an athlete but after flying to Hong Kong from East coast (economy), my ankles were swollen for 3 days. I decided then that flights 8hrs or > to fly business. Economy plus seats are not necessarily better since you still cannot elevate your legs.

The book "the gift of fear" by Gavin de Becker might be helpful with people dealing with anxiety and fear.

But they are being sued by the family even though they were the ones who ultimately brought their dead son up to the surface. In any event, Horizon got slammed. They lost a diver, they put a lot of effort and resources and actually manage to find him and now there is this stench of possible...

Well then it really sucks for Horizon having answered the family's call! They found their son and get sued by the family! I am thinking that when you have an attorney/accident investigator who also works for the insurance company on your boat, they either got bad or no advice from him how to...

LOL and agree on the Rolex. Just would hate to go on a recovery dive!

I had both but finally went to Trilam only. I had a scubapro neoprene and changed the seals to latex because the neoprene seals would leak too much. It was a very comfy suit! For whatever and unknown reason, I would get small holes in it that I did not get in the trilam suit and thus was more...

You don't know what you don't know. Having read the conversations when Stewart first died, there is nothing but speculation and conjecture. Only later, with the release of the depositions, did some "first hand" material emerge, but by then people have already been the judge, jury and...

Read on the news that Lion Air was "banned" by US in 2007 and gotten it back 2016? The EU was also barring Indonesian airlines for about a decade. Of course, not until their investigation is complete should one assume it was the airline's/pilot's fault.

When we went to Cocos, we had amazing shark encounters as long as no one was breathing - LOL. A hammerhead would come along nice and relaxed but took off "scared" when I had to finally exhale! We saw a tigers wayyyyyy off in the distance and they never stuck around. Until last year with the...

Thanks Wookie, but: Why would the "party of the suit" not sign and I don't understand the government organization who does not want to sign someone else's report? The statement from the people doing the recovery are known but their validity are now seriously held in question!

I watched a documentary about Rob Stewart beginning of the month and I am not part of the initial opinion giving crowd when the incident occurred. My effort remains to be as unbiased as possible. No skin in the game and I don't know any of the players. Even Wookie stated that "the chain of...

Wow that is quite a mouthful! From what I read from other posts about this, there was nothing but RUMORS and Enhanced Versions of Reality! Where was your objection then?

Maybe because it's not such a predictive tool after all. To much variability between divers and even within the same person. "The model is based on data with fairly high uncertainties when fewer than about 60 divers participated with the particular combination of durations and recovery times...

Well there appears to be a lot of throwing of accusations with questionable support and evidence. This is quite an interesting case. Interesting from various aspects - the event itself, the rumors, public perception and responses to now this! Flying to Ontario a little later today and will be...

But, it appears what is in the 'report' may not be true if there was tampering of evidence as suggested by this article.
