Christ, what a clusterfuck. You people out there wanting to do this kind 
of shit, screw the instroketer, you do what you have to do to make sure 
that your ass will 100% absofreakinlutely get back up to the boat. ITS 
YOUR ASS.

It does not take much, some lousy pool time would have shown this guy 
that his gear sucks. But instead he took the advice of some know-nothing 
moron, hell he paid the guy for this information, and what happened? He's 
dead, the instrokter went with him as well did a third.

Just 3 steps would have been the students salvation. Jumping in a pool 
and sinking like a rock is the first step. This is realization. The 
second step is to _not do the dive_ once you've discovered that your gear 
don't work. This is action. The third step is telling your moron 
instrokter to *take a hike*. This is finalization. You then continue to 
live.

Like George says, there nothing down there worth dying for. Its your ass.
