Steve,
In all candor, this is bullshit of the highest order.. Did you read =
that before you posted it??? If Tony was such a God Damn pioneer and =
had all these protocols to protect against a failure why in hell didn't =
he take the one additional step that seems obvious to everyone else =
except you cowboys...
Had he had a buddy with him he would still be alive...
Testing homemade equipment, solo on a wreck is just plain dumb and to =
ignore that fact and attempt to cast him as some pioneer is equally as =
stupid...

Routine Outing Fatal For Diver=20
Mourning an unexplained death=20
by J. Jioni Palmer=20
Staff Writer=20
David Scholl developed a passion for Long Island's=20
waterways as a child growing up in Lawrence, near=20
Jamaica Bay. As a youth, he'd spend countless hours=20
fishing and boating, but what he loved most of all was=20
diving deep below the ocean waves.=20
That love carried through to adulthood as Scholl, 42,=20
did a four-year stint in the Navy and worked part time=20
at a diving-gear shop in Mineola. He seized every=20
opportunity to go out onto the water, even=20
volunteering on weekends as an instructor on board the=20
dive boat the Seahawk, helping less experienced=20
aquanauts hone their skills, relatives said.=20
But Saturday, while on a routine jaunt from Freeport=20
to a ship wreckage about 18 miles south of Fire Island=20
an unexplained tragedy befell Scholl that took his=20
life.=20
"He was a diving fanatic," says his older brother Fred=20
of Wading River, who dives for the New York City Fire=20
Department. "His house was like a shrine; it was full=20
of artifacts he picked up diving." Saturday's accident=20
bewildered Scholl's friends and relatives, who said he=20
was an experienced diver. "If anybody got hurt, Dave=20
would be the first person to go help," said=20
stepdaughter Sarah Silverman, 27. "It's kind of=20
shocking that he'd be the one needing to get rescued."=20
Scholl had explored the wreckage of the G&D,a coastal=20
steamer that sank in 1918,more than a dozen times. He=20
had anchored the dive-boat Seahawk to the wreckage=20
about 110 feet below the surface on the sandy ocean=20
bottom and given the "all-clear sign" indicating that=20
it was safe for others to dive, his sister said.=20
Not long after that, a fellow crewmember discovered=20
his lifeless body near the wreckage.=20
He was brought to the surface, where the boat's crew=20
administered CPR and radioed the Coast Guard, which=20
took him by helicopter to Nassau University Medical=20
Center in East Meadow, where he was pronounced dead,=20
said Suffolk County Homicide Det. Sgt. Arthur Ahl.=20
"There is no indication at this point of a crime," he=20
said, adding police were waiting for results of an=20
autopsy by the Nassau County medical examiner.=20
Divers from Suffolk's Marine Bureau are expected to=20
examine the wreckage today in hopes of learning what=20
went wrong, he said.=20
Scholl's relatives said they hope police recover the=20
underwater video camera he was carrying to shed light=20
on the incident.=20
Grieving friends and relatives yesterday remembered=20
Scholl, who worked for the Village of Valley Stream=20
driving a recycling truck, as an affable man with a=20
generous heart who could light up a room with=20
entertaining humor.=20
"He was the class clown and the family comedian," said=20
his sister Susan McBride, 48, of Rockaway Beach. "He=20
was the happy-go-lucky guy that everybody loved."=20
