Straits of Mackinac diver death

[arcFlash]

[I read the reports on SB, I agree with 'Flots Am'] With all respect I don't see anything to learn. Everyone already knows to check their gear and their buddies. Everyone already knows complacency kills. If divers need to re-learn these from dive accidents they need to take training more serious in the first place. IF they followed the rules and still had an accident I want to read it. Break a handful of rules and it's sad but that's all.

I have a guess from reading the reports and it sounds like failure to follow basic OW caused the problem (like so many are) and failure in Rescue Skills(both of them) didn't stop it in time. Ether way, this was avoidable and all the skills needed to avoid it are in the books. Nothing new to learn.

Not trying to say I can't have an accident but if I do, I got stupid and ignored my training. (highest are Cave 1 & Stage Deco/O2). I've done a lot of inherently dangerous stuff and every time things got scary I messed up a basic rule.
