We have to keep in mind that bad air is only the
suspect reason for him to have died at this point.
I do not believe the tox report has come back and
been made public yet, so what we are speaking to
here is the *possibility* that an unfriendly
majority gas component other than 02 and N2 and
like inerts were present.
After Mark & JJ take the air sample and the results
come back, it could be determined the air was
breathable. If that proves true, what then does
everyone want to speculate killed him? I do not
believe we want to me making guesses at this point
until more facts are in.
But after saying that, what if the cause of death
is determined to not have been due to an
unfriendly gas breathed? Does anyone want to argue
that a second diver in the team could have saved
him if there was enough room to have done the
penne' as a team. The bros in FL dive caves and
pass through keyhole passages just fine as a team.
