Tragedy - diver dies at rotto after getting "bent"
Submitted by sunshine on Mon, 2013-02-11 11:13
Cannot believe there were three diving incidents over the weekend with the worst resulting in a fatality which according to news reports was as a result of the person getting bent ? bent or an embolism through too fast an ascent ?
Either way my condolences to the relatives and for the divers on here please dive to the tables and watch ascent rates

I had a friend on a dive
I had a friend on a dive charter boat which this diver got rushed over to by his friends where first aid was applied before he was airlifted to Freo. By accounts he ran out of air which was the cause of the rapid ascent. A real tragedy and condolences go out.
