Anybody know the what really happened? Any first hand accounts?
As usual, most all the info is being censored on the other boards.

Asking cause I'm heading there in Oct. and just found out about this as
I searched for info on the place.

Near as I've been able to ascertain, there was nothing in this incident to
keep you from enjoying CocoView.

For what it is worth, on a very obscure board, it was related by a resort
owner with ties to Cocoview, that the autopsy said both divers had drowned.
The resort owner (not Cocoview resort) went on to say that further word will
come when it comes. As you probably know, it can take a very long time for
results from the investigation of such an incident to be released.

Yeah, I saw that post. Just wondering if anybody had seen any thing new
by any one who was there at the time. Thanks chilly.

You were in the "Roatan Forums"???!!! I thought there were only 12 or 13
people that knew anything about that one. :^) I really mean that.

You are welcome. I've been trying to find out more myself, but the flow of
info is seriously tight. Near as I've been able to determine, no one saw
what happened. Not even other divers on that particular dive. I gather
that the incident began quite early into the dive but near depth.

My initial reaction was that there may have been some bad air involved but
as time went by and other divers on that particular dive checked in, I
stopped suspecting that.

Another Roatan Forum reader here...

My sources (and they are close to CCV owners) tell me the cause has not
been determined. The only thing shown in the autopsies done in San Pedro
Sula was drowning.

The two were on the same boat, same dive but were not buddies and were
not together.

Admittidly it is strange.

I'll say. It was my understanding that the DM had died because he'd gone to
the other man's aid. Perhaps that was merely speculation on the part of
others that weren't there.

Doesn't it seem very, very strange that others on the same dive with two
that were not buddies would have witnessed the problem with at least one of
them?

Maybe it was bad air. :^(
