Hi Paul,

We just had a deep air fatality recently in the St Lawrence (Canada).  The
diver was very experienced and a safe diving advocate.  He operated a
charter.  He was doing a wreck called the JB King.  The wreckage goes down
to 160', but it starts in 90'.  Because of this, recreational divers do the
wreck.  It is considered a very advanced recreational dive, because of the
depth and the current.  

I won't post any actual details since all my info is second hand, and I've
heard a lot of conflicting stories.

His name was Dave Cooper.  There were posts on techdiver a couple months
ago.  Check the archieves.  I don't know how accurate they are.

I'll leave this one to someone else.  Too morbid for me to go off and
put together a list for ya.
