Warning - this story discusses a diver's death. The goal is to learn from it and become a safer diver. The details are accurate to the best of my knowledge from published sources and divers familiar with the individuals involved. In many fatalities, not many details are known so they are hard to learn from. In this case enough details are known that we can see how, given the right circumstances, "this could have been me" and hopefully learn from it.
