In reference to the question about the navy dive tables. Yeh they really arn't for me, I look at what the computer says, it is very conservative, and if you listen to what its telling you there is a very very (like its not gonna happen to you) slim chance of you having any deco problems. Mine tells me if i ascend too fast, tells me when to stop for decompression, then has a timer that gives me the green light to surface.
And for the jersey shore, once you get out a way and it is a nice clear day with no bad weather for a week prior yeh you can have 30-40 foot visibility. Last night was a just about 10-15 feet

Thanks for the comments about the dive computers. When I learned to dive, we used the old Navy tables, and dive computers were just getting on the market. Tables worked for me, so I never bought one.
If he had an air line problem, no regulator in his mouth, and hit derf hard from below, it wasn't a controlled ascent. I doubt if he gave a shit about his bubbles. He just wanted topside. If his decomp stop was 10", he was down long enough to bend. 30-40' vis is good? OMG - no way, especially not a night. Go ahead, call me a wimp!

Blew a hose, or simply ran out of air?

Yea, if was truly an air line problem, he has his own octopus. Why wasn't it in his mouth? You may be right.

He was out of air, we don't know why but his tank was empty. The presumption was that he ran out of air somehow, went to the 2nd reg and couldn't get air so he bolted north. the guy he was with said that he was swimming behind the guy with the problem, looked at his own air guage, then sees the guy's fins as he is kicking up, and that was it. He was only down maybe 1/2 hour so he should have had air left, especially if I went down before him, and when he hit me I still had 2000lbs left. Nobody really checked his gear after to investigate, and soemone else picked up his octo and reg, but I never met the guy before.

Sounds like a tool who doesn't fill his tanks enough or verify that it was, AND doesn't bother checking his gauge. Double fail. Have any of these people actually taken training?

Not actually knowing what caused the problem, my guess would have been a stuck free flow regulator, it only takes a minute for it to drain the tank like that, and if the guy didn't know how to fix it fast it could have been a problem.

I had a bdc that had a leaking valve. So it would fill up. But he would have known if he had that problem. I did.
