From what I saw on the TV it was only a single AL 80.  Looks to
like the Corners going to come down hard on this one.  Technicaly its
considered as a commercial dive, since the victum was doing it for the
money .25 cents a ball, and as such was required by law to have 2 surface
tenders, and a line to the diver.  Of which both had neither.
