Lake Wazee accident

[jmohns]

Such a shame!!! In my honest opinion..... we asked the mods of this website to create us this area so we could analyze and dissect every portion of the incident. This is not disrespectful nor is it degrading to the family of the loved ones lost. This is frankly how we have evolved as divers and as a sport. I am a fireman by career, and when we have a fatal fire or some other really "nasty" call we sit down as a group and talk. No we don't sit around and point fingers, nor do we hold hands and sing songs, but we do talk about the incidents, what went right, wrong, what worked, didn't work.... you get the point. This is usually done as soon as we have the trucks back in service. As far as diving goes, I am fairly new (less than 10 yrs in the sport) and I am currently qualified for the 150 mark as well, so yes... I am incredibly interested in what happened so I don't potentially make the same mistake. Maybe it was a gear issue, maybe it was medical, maybe it was psychological.... who know, lets please keep to the facts and do what we do best here, make a good honest opinion so we cal all as a comunity can learn from it.
