Cave Diving Accident Analyzed in Scuba Diver Magazine
I was looking at this months Scuba Diver Magazine and they have a cave diving accident that resulted in a death of a diver in their lesson for life section. It may be of interest to some of you.
Does it say when, where, and who was involved?
I only briefly skimmed over it. I will give it a better read later. It was about a cave diver on a scooter that got seperated from his dive buddy and died. I don't remember seeing if it happened in Florida or not. The magazine usually doesn't put names in the lessons for life section it uses more generic terms like diver A and Diver B.
Possibly the accident in Little River a few years ago. I *think* it is on the IUCRR website.
What about the EN incident? I'm guessing one of these two.Originally Posted by FW
The magazine had another "lesson for life" involving cave diving last year. Supposedly, the accident happened at Jackson Blue, but the circumstances were so bizarre that it was probably a "what if" story that the writer had made up.
was there a statement that no cave divers were hurt or killed in crafting a tale to sell magazines?

I think I saw it as well, it definately seemed like a what-if and not a this-happened thing...
If I remember correctly the fatality was Diver B who had gotten separated from Divers A and C. Diver D had a bad feeling and didn't dive that day.

Other than a possible 4th diver it sounds like JB a while back. The team leader still dives, the other survivor quit diving.....
