Rod,

I guess that you meant SCUBA ( as in self contained ) diving should be
banned for this sort of activity ( commercial diving ). I can see that
surface supply would have eliminated the problems due to lack of gas in
this case. I hope that I am right and that some people are just getting
a little bit over-excited ...

Cheers,
Andy.
