A sad case of Diver error.
I hate to sound cold or cruel but this could have been avoided if they had stayed within their training. I was a PADI Instructor for many years on Guam and I assisted in a couple of searches. Almost all dive related accidents are the result of Diver error.
Please let this be a wake up call for those of you who dive and those who wish to learn. You have 2 gauges, 1 for air and 1 for depth. Keep looking at them and know your limits.
At least they found the body.
It could have been much worse.
I assisted on a search for one guy who went out alone at night 2 weeks after getting certified. We never found him.
My thoughts a prayers go out to the family.
Be safe.
