On Saturday the 22nd a diver died off Long Island on the
Old Cunard Liner Oregon in 130 fsw. It was his second
dive of the day. He split up from his partner once they
hit the bottom. He was diving independant 80's. It appears 
he had breathed one down to 1500 psi then switched to the other,
on draining that tank it looks like he couldn't find his other 
regulator or perhaps the sudden out of air situation panic'd him.
He tried to tie an ascent line to the wreck and was
found at about 90 fsw, entangled. Someone found him
and cut his ascent line at which point he made it to
the surface. The crew attempted to resusitate him
until the Coast Guard got him and delivered him to
a local hospital where he was pronounced doa.

Maybe some of the less experienced divers on the list
will pay closer attention to thier diving habits and
the environments they find themselves in and not rush
blindly to their deaths as well.
