Tom is this excersize designed to give info on dericks chances of catching Jane. is this info going to be used as a defense for derik in court. diver G did try but failed to do a rescue, no one is talking about him. I (and others) are talking about the quick reactions and full blown rescue attempt made by darik. remember (accourding to what derik told me that night when he returned to his dive shop) he watched her bubbles come up for about 2 (two) min. they finally stopped, when her back gas finaly emptyed. hell tom he could have made a nice slow decent and still recovered her body, he had a trail leading right to her. instead he froze. kind of like a doe in headlights. I have not seen the changes you are said to have made in the iantd standards, but how can they plan for this level of inaction???? well would love to talk to you some day, but you seem not to be interested.
