Diver Found Dead On Fort Lauderdale Beach POSTED: 5:30 pm EST November 15, 2005 FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Police say a diver who was swimming alone off Fort Lauderdale Beach was found dead Tuesday afternoon. Fort Lauderdale police said the man was wearing two scuba diving tanks at the time. His body was found near 2800 North A1A. Investigators said that there was no sign of foul play. The cause of the man's death has not yet been determined. ___________________________________________ For what it's worth, there was a picture in the article that was too small for me to be certain, but which seemed to show a jacket style BCD and a single tank rather than the indicated twins. Perhaps the diver was carrying a pony or Spare Air. I have no additional details at present.

The picture did not look like doubles. I have to admit, when I read the article, I looked closely to see if the kit looked familiar, you know, manifolded steel twins, long hose, dry suit in warm water. It looked very much like a single and a jacket style BCD.

Curtis >> I didn't take a cheap shot, but I won't deny that I was looking to see if >> there was one available. > > Honest Dad, I wasn't going to actually hit him... Hell, he came a lot closer to hitting me than I ever came to hitting me. >> What did I get wrong? > I was just singling out the steel twins in the ocean as an excuse for a > joke. Hard to imagine one would use steel twins shore diving down there. In the old days, twin steel tanks were the DIR standard, as was the admonition that they should never be used when diving wet. Standards have relaxed a bit and the person I dive with that's closest to DIR standard currently uses aluminum twins. As far as I know, the hard core DIR people still dive steel twins, and really do wear dry suits in warm water.

May be it was Bob Crownfield, Jammer, or Ron Lee (even though Bob never scuba dives and Ron Lee only use Aldora steel tank with a Spare Air).

Identity of diver released by police - from the local paper: <<Police on Wednesday identified the scuba diver found dead on the beach in his diving gear a day earlier as Gregory Boyce, 44, of Rumford, Rhode Island.>> Dead Lauderdale scuba diver identified By Herald staff reports browardnews@herald.com Fort Lauderdale police have identified the scuba diver who was found dead in the ocean on Tuesday. Two sunbathers pulled the body of Gregory Boyce, 43,, of Rumford, Rhode Island, out of the ocean near the 2800 block of North Atlantic Boulevard on Tuesday, police spokeswoman Kathy Collins said. An autopsy has revealed that the cause of death is drowning, Collins said. Boyce's body still had scuba gear on it, and police said a gauge on the tank indicated it was full. No foul play is suspected, Collins said. _______________________ Interesting.

Geez, and I thought Bob Crownfield was going to award his Laugh of the Day to my post, just to to show that he actually has a sense of humor, even though the joke was on him, instead of just being a stir-crazy lunatic of the newsgroup.

For which Bob Crownfield wins the posthumous award of rec.scuba's "Humorless Curmudgeon Lunatic of the Week" The fact that Lunatic Crownfield treated the JOKE as it if he found yet another of his alleged "factual WRONG" again, is a clear sign that he is SEVERELY humor-impaired.

Trying to conserve air? Interesting. One has to wonder what a Rhode Island resident is doing solo diving in Fort Lauderdale and how he managed to drown with a full tank. Lee --------------------------------------------- Lee, you pondered two questions and I submit the rather obvious answers. Question # 1 -- One has to wonder what a Rhode Island resident is doing solo diving in Fort Lauderdale Answer -- Because he can. Question # 2 -- One has to wonder how he managed to drown with a full tank. Answer -- He was on the beach gearing up and saw the typical Ft Lauderdale gals wearing thong bikinis and their 'enhanced boobs'. He, being a Rhode Island resident and never seeing enhanced gals in thongs back home on the beach, was in shock from a rush of male hormones when he entered the water. He drowned because he either forgot to put his reg in his mouth and breathe... or because he was drooling too much to get adequate air from his reg. Mystery solved. PS: Glad to see you guys made it thru the storm. Heard you had some damage, resorted to the generator etc. But bottom line is that you're ok. :) begin 704 spacer.gif SunkenTreasure&SeaMonsters!!```$685``*Y4 > Lee, you pondered two questions and I submit the rather obvious > answers.

Let's see, you can't spell worth sh.t. It's "you're" (contraction of "you are") not "your" (possessive of you). It's "doesn't" not "doesnt". Must be a product of that fine education system you have. You seem to have a problem with people being friendly. It's just the way certain people are. It just seems to be less common in places like Boston and NYC.

Actually, over the years 1995-2000, for instance, there were 1,253,749 people that moved from Florida for the 1,860,772 that moved in. That's not millions moving in, nor is it damned few moving out. After all, your weather sucks. No one wants tropical humidity year-round as it's enough of a pain in the a.s to deal with it for a few weeks out of the year. And like you said, there's a constant influx of foreigners, making it overcrowded and filled with people who don't know where they're going. > For what it's worth, we weren't hanging anybody down here 50 years ago > either.

"By 1930, four thousand blacks had been lynched nationwide by white mobs, vigilantes, or the Klan. Most of these occurred in the Deep South, many with law enforcement complicity.

A million people move from Florida annually, if that's, in fact true, does not mean that many, or even any are southerners or that they're moving to the north. Perhaps they are Yankees who got a clue or, maybe Hispanics just passing through on their way to the ghettos of the north. > "By 1930, four thousand blacks had been lynched nationwide by white mobs, > vigilantes, or the Klan. If you say so. > Most of these occurred in the Deep South . . . First, let's have a site to support that. Next, the Deep South isn't Florida, is it? The last time the KKK came into a Florida city that I lived in, a few hundred thousand blacks and whites met and wished them a speedy departure. They got the message. Most didn't get off the buses.

You can't blame that one on us natives. >> First, let's have a site to support that. Next, the Deep South isn't >> Florida, is it? > > Can it get any deeper?

Only a Yankee would make that mistake. >> More than 50 years ago, huh? > > Ancient history, huh? So then you won't point at WW II for examples of > why you refuse to give up your gun? Not so much ancient history as it is before the period when we were accused of hanging everybody that differed. I don't think I've pointed at WWII as a reason why I won't give up my gun. The German government's treatment of it's citizens is certainly a historical example of what can happen when a population is disarmed, but there are plenty of equally good examples since. The way the government treats the people of Cuba is an excellent example that occurred entirely within my lifetime, less than 100 miles from my state. Recent violence in France is an even more recent example. We learn from history so that we don't have to repeat it. We learned from our days as British colonies. We used the weapons others would have denied us, to achieve our independence. We wrote our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights based on what we learned, all more than 50 years ago. We have not made the mistakes that led to them since. We see no reason to repeat them now. BTW, it was Yankees who wrote those documents in the first place. Sometimes even a Yankee gets it right. Like I said before. You don't have to be from the south to be a good person. It's just harder if you're not. > Besides, weren't you born over 50 years ago? Yep. FWIW, I didn't hang anybody back then either, not that there weren't a few around that deserved it. Lee > They were burning them at the stake instead. Actually, they were hanged from real gallows, but not until after they'd been given trials (nearly 100 years before the Constitution required due process), and there were only a couple of dozen of them. It would seem that even 300 years ago Yankee whackos were a bit more enlightened than some of our more contemporary southern whackos.

It isn't permanent. :P Regardless, I see that you still haven't received treatment for your affliction. Spending as much time as you do on this newsgroup, your lack of comprehension is a real handicap. Let me type it slow for you... I was saying that the answer to question # 1, a popular phrase, "Because he/she/they/it/whatever can." is humorous. The act of his death and the event of his death is not humorous. The act of his death was not being discussed. Lee and I were discussing the wording "Because he can." as opposed to Lee's suggestion "Because he can't." Saying "Because he can't" just isn't the same and it doesn't work there. I added "Maybe not." to indicate that if someone were as ridiculous as you as to assume that I was speaking about the act of his death and the event of his death, then that probably would not be construed as humorous... and it's like I wrote that just especially for you because wa-la !!, there you are nipping at my heels. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Glad to see you're back in full Bimbette glory. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pops, I know you missed me.
