Don't think I'd be using that dive service again nor those dive buddies. Gee wiz how can you forget a diver that entered the water with you? Be interesting to hear how this turns out. Good example of the buddy system to use for the boys though.

I did find the breakdown of the buddy system a little frightening as well ...

It is even more complicated that most realize from reading the shorter story of it... The boat was moved a distance from the first location of diving to another dive site and they still didn't miss him until later at that second location. Then they reported him missing and the authorities were searching in the completely wrong place for him. We feel especially close to this event because our troop goes on an Argus trip every year.
