Why the Yukon will continue to kill divers
@LaBufadora - Yes, by all means, lets get the Federal Government involved and have the them make diving a wreck illegal. Lets just outlaw diving... At the same time maybe they can outlaw skateboarding, bicycling and mountain climbing at the same time since those also kill people. Oh, and maybe we can pass a federal law that we all have to wear helmets 24/7 whenever we leave the house for our own safety... (Sarcasm Intended) Diving is dangerous at 30 feet or 130 feet, reef or wreck. I've dove this wreck and was just fine. I didn't go inside A) because it's dangerous and B) viewing the outside was quite thrilling enough. The Grand Canyon claims lives every year, maybe a Federal ban to not visit is in order? What say you? @ Russell Goltz - the author of is this article - The Yukon has not killed anyone. Your articles is poorly titled. Additionally, diving Nitrox 32% you have 30 minutes at 100 feet and with 36% you have 40 minutes. As far as what happened to Staci, I don't believe a final report has been released so you don't know what happened. If she were taking an advanced diver class she wouldn't be entering the ship at all. So, that doesn't seem to be what happened. I do know this. That weekend the conditions were bad everywhere off San Diego, we canceled our dives as a result. They just shouldn't have been diving at all that weekend.— December 31, 2012 2:13 p.m.
