Subject: Re: buddy teams, was Re: Death of Eric Reichardt, 9/16/01
As I understand it, they were about the first to dive at this spot. 
The boat was not yet tied in, and in a current. One of them was taking
the task of tying in, the other entered the water with a handicap (
being unfit, carrying fish collecting stuff.

What _nonsense_ !

If anything, he should have grouped with someone entereing the water
after it was clear that it( ship/buoy was tied in. A current line might
have helped , then.
