In all the speculation on this incident, the consensus is that the BC failed. Assuming that there was no redundancy for this piece of equipment, the question then is why there was no reported attempt, on the part of any of the divers, to jettison "weight" from the student. By "weight" I'm referring to any negativly bouyant equipment; ie. steel stage bottles, canister lights, etc... Shaun -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
