It appears from his videos he dives solo. Hope they are able to locate him.

For those that are curious:'

The title clearly says "Mexican woman killed in shark attack swimming with daughter".

I only suggested it because there seems to be an interest in these stories and there is always someone complaining when something is posted that's not strictly a scuba diving accident. You didn't have to read the non-diving accident story but you did anyway because it's interesting and is a...

We need a seperate section for shark attacks. Mybe another section for water related incidents and accidents. Most scuba divers also participate in other water related activities when they are not diving.

Glad you're ok, I was wondering what happened to you. Heal up fast!

That's not a very good comparison at all. People die in swimming pools for completely different reasons. Most of the deaths are children who can't swim. A lot of people die because they hit their head on the bottom. People die because they are too intoxicated or on drugs and decide to swim...

WTF do you think I said "Yup" in response to your post and gave you a thumbsup?

Dude, I was agreeing with you, FFS.

The SSI Science of Diving course was probably my favorite. I highly recommend it to any new diver that wants a better understanding of how they came up with the numbers in the dive tables.

Yup. https://divingcorner.com/how-deep-can-you-go-with-nitrox/

Well said. I'm not a cave diver because it doesn't interest me in the least and I can't think of a more terrifying way to die scuba diving than to die a half mile down in an underwater cave. I'm also not into CCR, however it is something I've always been curious about but likely will never...

Well based on these recent comments from muiltiple people, I see no further value in any of these accidents and incidents threads because we never know any details at all of what happened. They are only worth reading for curiosity's sake. If you can't learn from them because everyone says they...

Sounds like she needs more time in the pool. Good job rescuing her. Next time she may not be so lucky.

When I was living in Boca I had a neighbor who was a PADI Dive Instructor. She told me of a story where she had to go to court because a diver drowned that was on the dive boat she was diving from. She was not acting as an instructor that day. Apparently some lawyers reviewed the dive boat...

Seems too easy to get OW certified sometimes. I was dating a girl who was originally from the Philippines and got all of her certifications there. I already had my advanced OW certification (SDI) from a dive shop in the Bay Area. By the time we first dived together was on a vacation in...

I did an afternoon dive on the Spiegle with Horizon a few years ago in the month of March. Conditions on the surface got really bad inbetween dives. It was marginal to even go out and by the time we got out there it had to be at least 5 foot swels with witecaps as far as you could see. We were...

Because there isn't a strong current, choppy surface or 5 foot swells. Motor boats are not allowed, it's not a hot drop or drift dive or a deep dive. There are no caves or confined spaces. There should be no fishing lines, cables, or other snag hazards. You'd have to be really unlucky to get the...

Breakwater is where I trained to get my open water and advanced certifications. It's also where I got my drysuit certification. You almost always see otters, sea lions, seals, and jellyfish (mostly in the morning). If you're lucky you may see a wolf eel, sunfish or octopus (I've only seen them...
