When it's your time....... It may not even be caused by diving.

My condolences to the family and friends and to those on the boat also.

Breathing on surface supplied air close to a reservation? Probably a geoduck harvester. Maybe bad air?

Would somebody please edit the subject line. I'm tired of seeing the headline and worrying about Austin for a moment.
