Re: RIP ‘Sharkwater’ filmmaker Rob Stewart goes missing in the Keys on 1-31-17

At the risk of sounding ignorant here: the article read that the crew turned their back on him for one second to get some oxygen, did he have a buddy with him, next to him, near him? It makes me rethink the way we dive on many boats, how we exit the water, who watches out for who...REGARDLESS of experience level...again at the risk of sounding ignorant, I as a Toronto native am even more saddened that this may have been easily prevented??? Kind of at a,loss here with this one...prayers and thoughts to the family and friends...a big loss for all of us who share his passion for protection and awqreness

What Happened to Rob Stewart?

The director of the acclaimed documentary 'Sharkwater' disappeared mysteriously after a deep dive off the coast of Key Largo on Tuesday. For 72 hours, crews scoured the ocean. On Friday, shortly after the search for Stewart was suspended, divers found his body on the bottom of the ocean floor.
