Chris, can you confirm the number of days of deep air diving that
preceeded the death, tell us why the boat was dropping divers 300 feet
off the wall if not to get more depth , and bhy the story does not
include these facts? 

  I realize that these may be clients of yours, but unless you are
prepared to provide the truth, I would suggest not saying anything. 

  First we hear he borrowed gear, and then we find out he had ben
diving with it repeatedly. We then here he was falling down and the
other guys went to 350, and then we hear that maybe he had a heart
attack.

  Personally, I would have had a heart attack if I had walked onto a
dive boat, and seen that many knonw idiots assembled in one place. I
would have jumped of the boat and kept going too, but not in the water.

  Why is it that when there is a really good clusterfuck in diving,
they get strokes from everywhere to show up in addition to the usual
suspects? 

  It appears that what we have here is the usual deep air nonsense
with a death. Is this correct, or is this not correct, Chris?
