 This sounds like lack of experience and training to me, and a decision by an
 in-experienced Doria diver going into the wreck where he does not belong.

The latest thread on the list has been about bashing the tech agencies, bad
instructors etc, anytime a death occurs. I made the statement "not knowing
which if any agencys/instructor"  were involved figuring that would be the
next question.

I made the statement that this "sounded like" lack of training and or
experience because that is what this sounds like.  Most deaths on the Doria
occur due to just that.

The dive boat Seeker and Wahoo are the most experienced boats up here running
trips to the Doria, and I bet the Captains and Crew would tell you the same.

Of course, I could be wrong.
