They are conducted in water less than 12m deep and with no more than 4 students to an instructor. From all the reports that I have read this is pretty much what happened. The only thing that occured is that the unfortunate student somehow seems to hav ebeen separated from the instructor which does happen sometimes when the visibility is reduced. While I feel for the family and friends of the victim I would prefer to see the instructor not pilloried. At this stage all the inquests have not been finalised and there is no firm evidence that the instructor has done anything wrongDiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819684872892586531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-19075368694677304082011-04-23T06:08:24.206-04:002011-04-23T06:08:24.206-04:00Gosh: Thanks you all for commenting.
