I know one of the divers on the boat. It happened. He has discussed it with me but I don't feel right passing along second hand information. What I can say is that what is said below is fundamentally correct. His tank had 400 psi left in it. He was found on the bottom with the regulator out of his mouth, but otherwise all gear intact. In my OPINION, it sounds like lack of experience certainly contributed to this fatality, but they haven't ruled out physical problems, like a heart attack, etc. Bill Bott wrote: > > I have also heard rumor of a fatality this past weekend on the > Sandusky at the Straights.
