I was reading this article in the NSS journal about a tragic cave fatality involving two freshly certified OW divers who got killed on their very first real dive and then had to be recovered. According to the article the instructor invited them along to retrieve a cement pig, from a spring in north Florida. They were apparently given one light and then preceded to swim into the cave and got lost and killed. The instructor that just certified them over at called Genie Springs was at the site at the time but was busy with another diver who was having trouble equalizing his ears. The other two must have decided to explore the cavern at some point with the single light between them. So my question is this: do the instructors take the OW students into the overhead during the open water course at Genie Springs camping resort? If so how does that work? Just curious.
