Yes I do agree , divers will kill themselves no matter who has taught
them.But in this case , it looks as if he had help in making all the wrong
decisions .In fact it is up to the ones who do these dives , should help
guide these new divers after they have done there training , we all know
that the training classes do not prepare you for those (300 ft + dives)
kinds of dives , experience is the key.The mental stress of a sub 300 ft
dive is big load to carry , if you have never done it and then are let do
it alone.I find it a bit hard to laugh when I know the victim and that he
has been exposed to the safer ways .
