Team Geared Up

LONDON, UK (Team Geared Up) - I didn’t know about this until informed by an Australian tonight.

It looks like a still from an action film, but an extraordinary picture of a diver lying prone on the seabed is at the heart of an Australian inquest.

The grainy image was intended as a holiday snap of a tourist diving on Australia’s spectacular Great Barrier Reef. But it inadvertently showed, in the background, the motionless body of 26-year-old American honeymooner Tina Watson

Here are the facts as I’ve heard them:

- He thought she was panicking so much he needed help
- He went to surface to get help when she tore her mask off in a panic.
- He was a certified RESCUE DIVER! trained to deal with this.
- They were in 28m of water.
- Her air supply was found on when her body was recovered.
- The week before getting married she signed her insurance benefit to him.
- He took a massive payout.

Talk here tonight was he switched the air bottle off behind her back, then back on again - hence her pulling her mask & regulator off in a panic. Why would you go to surface?!
