Hi
I believe what happened here is the diver was alone and became tangled up on line and simply ran out of air and drowned. I know that if he was on a surface supplied air unit with a safety tender on coms he would still be alive. This is were the line must be drawn between sport and commercial divers. In technical open circuit diving we follow certain guidelines to get us to the wreck and back to the surface safely, the same guideline are set up for commercial diving jobs were a diver is trained specifically for mechanical construction work using specialized equipment. Now! just imagine if this man had life insurance and the insurance company realized he was doing a job that he was not skilled to do, well guess what there will be no coverage for his family, just a bill for recovering his body. Theirs no mercy in this world anymore, you need to be smart and judge wisely.
Safe diving
