This is similar to what I posted last year around this time. The data has been culled from the few news groups that I wander on to in the mornings and during lunch. Each name has a short file (not atttached) that has either a msg board discussion or a news paper article. My comments from last year extend to this year for back seat type of analysis : lack of thorough training (I hang that on the training agencies out there issueing OW cards in record breaking time), lack of proper dive teams, incorrect choices in gas and gas management, unbalanced weighting to name a few. ptf date name some details yr mo day last first 020105 Rossa, Anthony San Diego, California, left buddy to surface, was later found without air, bc deflated, weights attached in 65 feet 020201 King, Robert Australia, Irukandji Jellyfish sting, an American tourist 020216 Reagan, Pete Little River Springs, diver separation, convulsed underwater 020223 Amison, Paul Dorothea Quarry, Wales 020226 Fisher, Dale Abandoned marble mine in Jasper, Ga, buddy separation, lost line 020303 Telford, Dave Clyde, wreck Kintyre, separated buddy team during ascent 020309 Vichich-Williams, Terri Ginnie Springs Resort in High Springs, Fl convulsed around Keyhole, and Buddies brought her out...missing a 22 min deco stop 020328 Parker, Mike Howe Sound, Vancouver, Canada, air dive to 200 feet buddy separation 020500 Dean(s) Inspiration 020518 Guerin,Michel Inspiration 020526 Hathaway, John Lobos State Reserve, California Coroner says natural causes 020615 Behnken, Kenneth Half a mile off the Monterey Beach Hotel, California, embolism, fast ascent 020616 Shuger, Scott Near Malaga Cove, California unknown, dove solo 020623 Lelasi Cristiano Capri the Mediterrianian, trimix first dive to 250/300 feet, surface interval, back down with air to retrieve.... 020625 Anderson Brothers NOT SCUBA - perished in an abandoned mine in the Cleveland National Forest, South California mine O2 content reported to be close to 4% 020704 Yaley,Mollie San Carlos Beach in Monterey, California 020707 unknown On the Seeker supposedly never submerged reported to be close to 260 pounds and slightly overweight 020709 Graves, David While vacationing in the Bahamas, came up after dive, "He was seen preparing to climb back onto the boat but failed to appear on deck.
