Hi all,
This has indeed been a sad weekend. I was up to Toby this weekend and had an
opportunity to dive the Arabia yesterday but passed because I had to get
back to Kingston. The rest of my dive party went out to dive the Arabia. All
I heard was that there was a death and no further information. I almost
choked when I got back and found out that Dave had died. I knew him
moderately well. I agree with the sentiment that while I chose not to dive
with him on philosophical reasons, out of the water he had a heart of gold
and was a well respected family man. My condolences to his wife and child.
Dan Steve, I was at his wife's home just this afternoon, and got the details from her directly.. John

The dive goes like this, apparently they were diving on a wreck called the king, whick is where Dave found a new wreck, name unknown, but does not
matter. They were diving in teams of two for some reason they switched dive buds at the bottom, the other two stayed on the king and Dave and his newly
switched bud went to run a line over to the new wreck, the guy he was with bolted to the surface getting somewhat bent, and Dave did'nt come up...
another diver by the name of Dave Little went in to look for Dave and found him on the bottom, not breathing but with the regulator still in his mouth,
he was diving with air as I understand it, his 95cu.ft. still had lots of gas in them, and he also had a stage of deco gas?
This is all I can tell you at this time, I'll keep you posted...
