I hope anyone considering venturing into deeper water will go back and look at all of the diving fatalities and before reading all of the internet experts pontifications just notice the common denominators of each accident. Cave community did this years and years ago. What keeps showing up?

This fatality is no different, entering the water without sufficient gas, without a sufficient team, without the proper gas and without (what I would consider) sufficient goals. The last being the most important, first and foremost the team goal should be everyone comes back, build on that. Not this bull shit "every man for him self" mentality that is still so prevalent in tech/spear diving.

But it always gets back to Rule #1.
