Raymond was buried on Saturday (friday night here), over 500 people attended his funeral. He was a personal friend of mine and after years of watching scuba accidents it is a much different experience when it is someone you know.
When I read about a scuba death or injury from now on I will definately have a different perspective.
Accidents are more than statistics or a case study.
(The story is not completely accurate, and I am definately offended by the comments regardign using local dive guides, often times they are not even certified... but maybe that is just the pain of loss)
