Everyone keeps sending me versions of the spin on Rob Parker's
death. Let's go back over it: bottle of mix on one side, bottle of air
on the other. Parker goes to air deep, Parker has a "blackout" ( lights
on nobody home, not pass out, or tox, or drown, just a wide awake
blackout). He sinks, Duffer, who has same config only has "lost" his mix
bottle and has only air to work with , tries to help, and is initially
successful, but loses fin in the process. Down to one air bottle, low on
gas, he boogies. Parker appears to be back in action, but is still on
air, still deep, and facing a restriction. He does not make it out.
There is also some mention that Parker had also "lost" his mix bottle,
and the latest version of the story has the body recoverers saying that
the mix bottle was on the floor of the cave away from the body.
Cause of death: STUPIDITY
What we can learn: "DO IT RIGHT, OR DON'T DO IT AT ALL"
