Still no sign of missing scuba diver July 13, 2006
Posted by Andy Carroll in : Accidents , trackbackI saw this report in Divester regarding Ashley maudlin, who disappeared after beginning a dive at 3pm on Monday, and not returning. She was diving about 14 miles west of New Port Richey near an artificial reef, with what reports say was a 40 minutes supply of air.
Since then the the Coast Guard and dive crews from three other agencies have scoured more than 250 square miles looking for Ashley, without success. The search efforts have been hampered by strong storms and even water spouts, and rescuers say that time is running out if Ashley is to be found alive.
Angela McGinnis, Missing Diver’s Cousin:
“Her husband and step daughter were snorkeling… She was picking things up off the ocean floor. The next thing they knew the boat rocked and Ashley was gone.”

She was not alone out there, I think we should focus on Ashley and her family, before we talk about lessons to be learned.
