Christopher, there was a deliberate, orchestrated campaign of bullshit about Rob Palmer's 'mysterious' death, probably to protect the reputation of the organisation he was with. All it did was slow the promulgation of the message that diving deep on air is sensless and dangerous stupidity. But after the lying bastards were done, the truth came out. It can be found at: http://www.divernet.com/profs/palmer399.htm It is a PERFECT example of why rule No 1 - 'Don't dive with strokes' is absolutely CENTRAL to good, intelligent diving pratice. Palmer ended up diving deep on air because he chose to keep the company of strokes. Rob *Parker* died in a cave in the Bahamas. His back-gas was one of mix, one of air. Rob had to switch to the air cylinder at depth after an equipment problem. He toxed and died. Chalk up another one to associating with mindless strokes. rgrds billyw > > Didn't Rob Palmer die in a cave, near the exit from > > being crushed (or > > pinned) by the falling rock of a cave-in?
