    come on... there is more to this story that what has been reported... any diver knows that its very rare for and "oxygen regulator" to detach itself and if it did... where was his buddy? there is a lot of information missing......

    This is happening too often. The "diving instructors" should be trained and licensed by a competent authority. .

    The company should be held responsible as because of their negligency an innocent lost his life.The company and the instructor should be questioned and severly be punished if found guilty as such a mistake is not acceptable!
