Thanks for the post Bill.  Agree with much of what you say, especially
the need for DAN to discourage the type of deep diving mentioned in this
incident.

You mentioned Lake Wazee, which is located in Black River Falls, WI, and
has been a popular midwest training (and killing) site for technical
divers because of its depth (over 300 ft).  I can tell you that Jackson
County has considered closing the place, but that isn't likely to happen
anytime soon.  Living where I do, not far from Lake Wazee, I do hear
about some of the close calls, and the horror stories are pretty
incredible.

Divers will continue to take risks (don't we all), and there will no
doubt be future accidents at Lake Wazee, 40 Fathom Grotto, and other
popular deep diving/training sites.  I think it is great that most of
the people on this list are making a clear statement against deep diving
on air, and just maybe DAN and the training agencies will someday do the
same.
