Using this as an example of the norm in Northeast diving is a stretch at
best

Thanx and F**k you too. For someone who advocates a system that makes great
sense its unfortunate that your mindset is that judgmental.  The bottom line
is that Cobb is the only one that got it right.  This is a tragedy; show
some compassion.  Right now no one knows what happened.  Although his rig
looked like an accident waiting to happen, no one at this point needs to
hear I told you so.  The point is obvious.  Realistically when we dive  we
are all just playing the odds.  Some setups increase your chance of survival
and some do not.  Until the perfect system of diving comes along today's
accepted practice is tomorrow's stroke of the day.  Just hope tomorrow that
your dive doesn't go wrong because people will  microanalyse how you failed
no matter how sound your system is.
