The recovery team from Gustavo Sallum=B4s fatality sent me this =
report,which
I translated for the benefit of all the list=B4s participants.
The victim was considered lost on November 2 nd. at about 8:30 pm after
not returning from a solo dive,on air,planned for a depth of 60 meters =
at
the Ceita Core cave in Bonito-Ms-Brazil.While two other divers were at a
side tunnel,Gustavo should have done his dive and joined them at the
exit,but he did not return.The two other divers tried a quick search =
but
had to call the dive due to depth and air supply limits.
On the same night ,the local guide,Ismael Escote did a trimix dive to =
77
meters but could not find Gustavo.
The recovery team came from S=E3o Paulo about 1200 km far from =
Bonito,which
delayed the procedures to the 4th. of November.
A good team work was done with Afonso going down to104.7 meters where =
the
body was found.His doubles had 110 BAR of air, his regulators,wings and
dry suit were working well,but his backplate harness had to be =
cut,since
it had no quick-release system,in order to elevate the body.Robert
received the body at 74 meters and passed it to Gabriel at 42,who took =
it
to the base of the entry restriction at 15 meters.From there =
,Luiz,Ismael
and Sergio took it to the surface,through the restriction.
Due to the fact that the victim was found without the regulator in his
mouth,with his fists tightly shut,not holding his light,the recovery
team=B4s main hipothesis is that he had a convulsion or passed out =
before he
drowned.The mainline was also entangled around his neck.
Gustavo was an Nss-Cds full cave diver,mixed gas diver TDI and a PADI =
OW
Instructor.He was a med-school student and 21 years old.
The Recovery team had the support of Igarape tourism agency=B4s crew as =
well
as local authorities from Bonito.
In respect to the family, it is asked that further speculations be =
avoided
by now,untill a complete report has been finished.
Recovery participants were:Afonso Pinheiro,Gabriel Ganme,Robert Kover
Jr.,Luis Augusto Pedro,Sergio Rhein and Ismael Escote.
As soon as I am able to gather more information,I will send it to the
list.
