If they made it to 320, what were they planning to do? Bounce so they could
pound their chest if they got back and revel in the fact they did 320 on
air? Just don't get it. Why go in and risk your life if you've got nothing
to do down there? Gotta be a purpose....
Art.

Looks like he was not planning on coming back at all. How many dead buddies
has this other guy got, and who trained these guys and told them that mix
was so bad, and who told them that deep air was a heroic thing? Can you find
out the agency and instructor?

Trey,
It's worse than we thought.. The ad hoc dive plan was to 320' on air, with
no deco gas.. He had twin 120's and was following his computer until it
cleared deco..
The survivor reports seeing him at 290' heading down to the anchor at
318'...
Solo, on air at 320' with no deco gas...
Need we say anymore????

Subject: RE: Deep air fatality in SoCal
Mike, this is what the dive industry teaches and preaches " good on air",
and "depth" - two very important things in the tiny little mind of the
strokes who teach diving, and the agencies they work for. Now, even PADI.
Three of these agencies have "deep air record holders" as their presidents:
Mouth at IANTD ( whom we have all heard tell students that his "personal
comfort level on air is 200 feet", Gilliam at TDI who broadcasts his love
for deep air, and that drooling idiot Hal Watts at PSA .
Tolerance of stroke thinking in any form is unacceptable to me. I treat them
all like the cockroaches that they are, and if everyone else did the same,
it would eventually become stigmatic to be a moron.
Mike, I would love to dive that bank again, but I can not fly out to help
you and Johnny Walker due to work. If you find that guy at all, the sharks
are going to have eaten him anyway.

Subject: Deep air fatality in SoCal
John Walker and I are doing a body recovery tomorrow from yet another deep
air fatality..
Facts are reported to me by the USCG..
Two guys on a private boat go to Farnsworth bank ( backside of Catalina).
The plan was for diver 1 to dive first while diver 2 stays topside to watch
the boat..
Diver 1 dives to 260' solo on air, when he get's to 10' diver 2 gets into
the water.
Diver 2's profile was planned 280', on air, solo and NO deco gas.. On top
of that he brought his video camera..
After diver one gets on the boat he doesn't see any bubbles and tries to
call the USCG but the radio doesn't work. He later flags down another boat
and the USCG responds..
BTW, these guys were trimix certified but chose to do this dive on air.. I
spoke earlier today with the parents of this 39 year old guy and next time
anyone tries to defend this kind of idiocy I'll have them call the parents
of this guy and let them hear the pain in their voice...
