thank you for your condolences.

Jane has many years as a working dive master under her belt. together we dove
at least once a week. most times more than that. she had to get wet. she has
thousands of dives. a dive is 2 or more tanks. 

read the post tom mount sent (private) to me again, but I'll quote just one
item from it, #10-

10. Jane was most likely the best diver in the group, whatever happened to

either stress her out, or equipment failure or physiological event was not

due to her not being a confident and responsible diver.

I read this to say tom thinks she was better that even derick. but then even a
bad diver is better than derick. at least with a bad diver you know you will
get no help. with derick he will talk a great line but when the chips are down
he will not come through.
