Do you guys have SOP for fatal dive accidents ? Does your agency take victims dive equipment for examinations ? What is your procedures on that ?
At our unit we are called in all accidents and we handle site investigation and dive for evidence, like body, dive gear and such. We do not investigate the equipment, our CSI unit handle that. But we are called in to make recommendations and assist CSI with the equipment. The equipment goes through testing like, the air in tanks are tested, regulators tested, all equipment is photographed and tested. But what I´m thinking does someone but the gear together and test it in pool or on a real dive. Just a thought on how other units do this thing ?
