Frank I'd like to see those DAN stats. Their opinion of buddy diving is if a diver has a buddy in the same vicinity.
I don't know how much clearer all of the local diving fatalities in So Cal this year can make it for some of you. And if I go beyond the local stuff I have a huge list that shows the same patern
These divers were all exerienced divers based on the level of people on this list. Purdy was right up there at the top. He too was solo just like the other 6.
As Jm Hoffman blames the Ca school system for my spelling I am blaming diving education for not properly teaching divers how to dive in a team.
