Ken, I'm afraid when push comes to shove, his qualifications will be judged irrelevant to the basis of the suit. The suit will charge "gross negligence" by leaving the diver in the water, thereby negating any waivers he signed. The lawyer, judge, and/or jury won't know or care jack doo-doo about the contributing circumstances that for most divers would mitigate the charges. I hope Ray can get a top notch diving attorney to represent him.
