WE lost a local diver last month diving off the coast of NC on wrecks.
I have not got the entire story, but something went BIG TIME WRONG!  At
least two people ran out of air and were not close to their buddies.
The cause of death of the diver was embolism...he made a rapid acent. He
was flown to the coast and then to Duke/Dan facilities.
