George: >> Andy, it all comes down to the obvious... << >> If you will recall, I called that one perfectly at first sight... << The obvious is that most technical diving deaths can be traced back to some form of human error. And no-one needs to proudly pound on their chest for "calling that one perfectly". >> I will be glad to plaster their names all over here << Everyone who does that kind of diving knows that at the end it almost comes back to the diver's act or omission. They already paid the ultimate price - and I just fail to see any added benefit in attacking a dead diver's personality and upsetting their families - when the unmoderated FACTS itself are message enough. >> People could learn form the best if the worst, like you , would stay out of the way. << My viewpoint is, that the unprofessional STATEMENTS MADE ABOUT THE DIVER prevent much of the needed bare FACTS ABOUT THE DIVE to be made public. A complete accident report typically means that someone ends up acknowledging some form of responsibility for the outcome. This is hard enough to do, without someone getting off on some necrophilic pleasure by (verbally) abusing the dead. This kind of behavior will NOT improve the safety for anyone. So we'll just have to disagree on WHO stands in the way... >> mercenray dive instructors like you << As always, knowing the source I consider this a compliment.
