Re: Accident Review

Ah, I see. I read it as "another diver surfaced and called for help" and thought they (the individual was) were alone, conscious at the surface, then went unconscious

As for the comfort of the student in the water, it's hearsay and speculation. It sounds like a heart issue though (I'm not a doctor, just an un-educated guess). Was it stress induced? Who knows? Not saying your wrong in your questioning of taking that person into open water. It's not unheard of that an instructor would take an uncomfortable student into open water. Some people are more concerned with pushing students through. But There is not enough information to make that call imo.
