I hearda short piece on the 4 o'clock news about a divemaster being charged with the death of a student. The student panicked and surfaced.
Anyone know the details?
thanks, Reese

What a crock of sh#t! That's a cardinal rule. I refuse to believe any certified instructor would be so negligent as to neglect to teach students the most important rule in scuba diving - DO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH WHILE ASCENDING! But again, imbeciles on the jury and a slick lawyer.

| You can suffer a fatal embolism from as little as 4 feet of water. Extreme, but it is possible. This is why I cringe every time I hear of someone letting a friend or child "try" scuba in a swimming pool - "It's just a pool". Please don't do this...PLEASE
