Corey has posted an "in memoriam" thread on thedecostop. This is very sad news, and my condolences go out to everyone who knew Mark. He was just a great guy.

Someone on TDS posted a link to the diver's website:

I looked around and see that his was engaged for a Sept wedding. Doubly sad.

Thanks to all those who worked on the recovery.

That's an irrelevant statistic without also knowing what the ratio is of SAFE dives done with and without a buddy. And even then, I doubt the database is large enough for anything statistically emaningful to come out. Which brings me to...

Already with the internet post-mortem? Please let's give it a break until the IUCRR puts out their findings. Mark's friends an relatives will be watching these boards, let's be respectful.

Exactly! Let's don't start with this nobody should solo crap again. DIR says the same thing with sidemount . . . but the evidence is in the pudding.

My condolences as well.
