JT, I agree Christopher Murley made the decision to dive signed the waivers and went diving, all his choice. I agree that you should be prepared for dying. You are also correct about families wanting to blame someone. Personally I think you signed, your responsibility, end of story. But in this case it seems that people had the attitude of he signed the waiver cash the check, instead of you don't belong here waiver or not. This may be a little naive, it is just my opinion.
