The only downside to going to all those funerals in one place is the lack of
frequent flyer miles, and the Long Island Expressway traffic. These guys
need to just set up "funeral on line" and go wireless so they can "attend"
all of these funerals right from the boat as they are getting ready to do
the same things that keep killing people.

If anyone needs another example of why DIR is "the" way to dive and NE
USA/Wahoo style is not then read Steve Bielenda's post below. Sort of makes
the idea of a balanced rig somewhat attractive does it not? I hear they do
tec diver's wakes well in the NE, they should do they have enough practice.

Remember, trying to stand on the top of a sharp point give you very
little
purchase.
I see you have very little patience nor can you answer a couple
of
questions directly without losing you temper.
No, the last time I seen Tony Maffatone was last August when he
was
stepping off the deck of my boat alone to test his equipment. Tony
knew the
risks of diving alone and only dove alone, we discussed the risks many
times,
Tony dove to invent and invented to dive. Tony designed and built all
his
equipment, none store bought if it was he took it apart and redesigned
it and
made it better. Tony spent, three years building his system and 3
months
diving his new design in 15 to 30 feet of water and this dive the
second one
to 100 feet was the next stage of testing. Tony talked about equipment
failure and he tried to design every backup into his system, He had
just
removed the scuba second feeling the rest of his design had all
backup
needed.
From examination of the incident and equipment, there was
design
fault with tank balance, if the lowest tank of the seven tanks was
drained
empty and others more than half full it flipped him on his back up
side down.
The system weighs out of water 265 lbs in water 150 lbs, Tony
struggled to
right himself he cut his suit legs to get the gas out and right
himself but
being upside down the XO FFM mask flooded he cut both his shoulder
harness
and made a free assent, rising feet first upside down and didn't make
it.
Like Berman and Exley Tony was pioneer and didn't die sitting at his
computer and talking diving.
He died following his dream, maybe not the way he say he would
choose,
but he did choose his time and place. We grieve Tony, like many will
grieve
Steve Bermans and Dave.
You only think you are in control, I hope you never lose it.

Belinda, bullshit. Do not waste our time with your slop. You just

Why do you have to have a buddy?
This guy had a massive heart attack and died almost
instantly, his
video camera showed 22 minutes of video and a shudder and the
camera
dropped
along with his mounted light, he started to inflate his buoyance
system
and
died his light snaged into the wreck and held his body there.
Where was Steve Berman dive buddy?
Are the rules different for different area around the world, such
as cave,
NE
wreck southern waters west coast or where ever?
This is not an argument just some information and questions.
Risk management is done by each diver themselves and the risk they
are
willing to take when diving alone are there own or with a dive
partner,
solo
divers do not put others at risk.
You may not like it but that the facts. NE wreck diving has
had its
share of diving deaths as many other areas of the world but non
comes any
were near the high count of cave diving deaths around the world,
with and
without there buddies.

Paul, NE diving is a disgrace - partially due to the bullshit,
and more
due
to the fact that the rest of you go along with it.
Let me ask a question, and you NE divers can get out your
dictionary to
look
up this word: "Where was this guy's B U D D Y ?

Anyone know the actual situation of what happened?
George,you can disregard this email and hit delete. We
know your views on NE diving and believe it or not we
are working on a stroke free zone. It may take awhile
but you have to start somewhere.
It "may" be safe to assume he was "solo" since there
is no mention of a buddy report.

Routine Outing Fatal For Diver
Mourning an unexplained death
by J. Jioni Palmer
Staff Writer
David Scholl developed a passion for Long Island's
waterways as a child growing up in Lawrence, near
Jamaica Bay. As a youth, he'd spend countless hours
fishing and boating, but what he loved most of all was
diving deep below the ocean waves.
That love carried through to adulthood as Scholl, 42,
did a four-year stint in the Navy and worked part time
at a diving-gear shop in Mineola. He seized every
opportunity to go out onto the water, even
volunteering on weekends as an instructor on board the
dive boat the Seahawk, helping less experienced
aquanauts hone their skills, relatives said.
But Saturday, while on a routine jaunt from Freeport
to a ship wreckage about 18 miles south of Fire Island
an unexplained tragedy befell Scholl that took his
life.
"He was a diving fanatic," says his older brother Fred
of Wading River, who dives for the New York City Fire
Department. "His house was like a shrine; it was full
of artifacts he picked up diving." Saturday's accident
bewildered Scholl's friends and relatives, who said he
was an experienced diver. "If anybody got hurt, Dave
would be the first person to go help," said
stepdaughter Sarah Silverman, 27. "It's kind of
shocking that he'd be the one needing to get rescued."
Scholl had explored the wreckage of the G&D,a coastal
steamer that sank in 1918,more than a dozen times. He
had anchored the dive-boat Seahawk to the wreckage
about 110 feet below the surface on the sandy ocean
bottom and given the "all-clear sign" indicating that
it was safe for others to dive, his sister said.
Not long after that, a fellow crewmember discovered
his lifeless body near the wreckage.
He was brought to the surface, where the boat's crew
administered CPR and radioed the Coast Guard, which
took him by helicopter to Nassau University Medical
Center in East Meadow, where he was pronounced dead,
said Suffolk County Homicide Det. Sgt. Arthur Ahl.
"There is no indication at this point of a crime," he
said, adding police were waiting for results of an
autopsy by the Nassau County medical examiner.
Divers from Suffolk's Marine Bureau are expected to
examine the wreckage today in hopes of learning what
went wrong, he said.
Scholl's relatives said they hope police recover the
underwater video camera he was carrying to shed light
on the incident.
Grieving friends and relatives yesterday remembered
Scholl, who worked for the Village of Valley Stream
driving a recycling truck, as an affable man with a
generous heart who could light up a room with
entertaining humor.
"He was the class clown and the family comedian," said
his sister Susan McBride, 48, of Rockaway Beach. "He
was the happy-go-lucky guy that everybody loved."
Scholl is survived by his companion of 10 years, Sue
Silverman of Long Beach; his mother, Carole, and
another sister, Debra; two children and four
stepchildren.
A wake will be today from 7-9 p.m. and tomorrow from
2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.
at the Meserole Funeral Home in Inwood. Funeral
services will be Wednesday at 11 a.m. at the Lutheran
Church of the Incarnation in Cedarhurst, with
cremation following.
