This is a tragic accident that should have been avoided.
I don't know what the laws are in Australia, however, someone should
loose there Capt. ticket, and the Divemaster should loose there card.
This does not need to happen.

BRISBANE, Australia (AP)-
Searches of beaches in north Queensland state
by police and volunteers had been unsuccessful
in turning up any sign of an American couple who
went missing from a scuba diving trip one week ago,
police said Sunday.
"Investigations are continuing but there has been
no breakthrough," police spokesman Brain Swift said.
The up-market tourist town of Port Douglas had been
the base for a massive police and volunteer search for
Thomas Lonergan, 33, and his wife Eileen Lonergran, 28,
of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The pair were among 26 recreational divers taken to
St. Crispin Reef on the Great Barrier Reef last Sunday and
were last seen when they entered the water mid-afternoon
wearing wetsuits and scuba gear.
The couple were apparently left behind by the dive boat
"Outer Edge," which arrived back at Port Douglas at 5 P.M.
They were not immediately missed and police were not
alerted until Tuesday, almost 50 hours later.
