1. Glad they are safe.

2. What lead to this event.

3. Wow, that's a lot of resource used over night (if I were in the water, I'd probably want more :D )

4. I'm not one for excessive rules and laws, but someone needs to emphasize to divers YOU MUST HAVE A SMB, A WORKING LIGHT, A REFLECTIVE SIGNALING DEVICE (mirror), A WORKING NOISE MAKER at a minimum for safety equipment.
 
Oswald was found at 9:40 a.m. Sunday and Collier was found an hour later.
I have thought about the possibilities of being lost at sea and one of my plans would be to tie our BCs together with my Jonline. Hard to spot a diver's head on the surface but two together would be more noticeable.

They always say "two heads are better than one" :laughing:

My home bud is bald. Maybe that would help?
