Thanks for confirming my opinion.

"You simply don't know what you're talking about."

Don't you own a dive shop in Phuket?  If so, how can your view on this incident be subjective?

I don't know. I said air is very expensive. How much do you pay for yours?

 

Er, what? Do you really believe they filled the tanks with soup? Seems you take things very literally.

 

Sorry if you only have experience with prostitutes. I believe they are mostly the same which explains your thinking. Non prostitutes are "different". Girls of a similar age to you are "different". You have a bitter outlook if you believe all Thai women are the same and out to get you, very very sad.

 

Yes, happy to go on the record that this is just a ridiculous AN cliche used by bitter old men here who have a sad outlook on life, and possibly those that have been burned by prostitutes due to their own naivety. It in no way reflects the majority of the population. I have been here nearly 30 years and vehemently disagree with your hackneyed rubbish.

Why don't you go on the record and tell us what happened to you that causes you to besmirch an entire country with such a bitter and silly claim? What makes you so bitter? I've gone on the record, now your turn.

Ah, you challenge everyone else but ignore any questions to you.

Thank you Mr Cliche Man. MONEY NUMBER ONE!!

Sad.

No, the issue is at depth due to carbon monoxide preventing oxygen to bond with your blood. Therefore you smell and taste the air during the surface check before the dive, and if it does happen you abort the dive.

Quite frankly, I wouldn't trust anything here, nor have I ever. 

 

For all we know, he died on the dive, and they took the body back to his hotel room to conceal the truth.

Can you please just stop making up utter nonsense!?

A young man has died.

You have speculated so much rubbish that it is entirely disrespectful. Once people have pointed out how ridiculous your theory of them not filling tanks up to save on the costs of air is (which is free) now you are suggesting he died on the dive and they dragged his body back to his room, put him in bed, plugged his phone in, put it in his hand, locked his room and then exited by floating through a wall????

You need help. Please stop posting in this thread, it is immensely disrespectful.

I haven't speculated anything. 

 

Another member posted about under filling tanks, and I posted I would not be surprised if that's what happened.  Nothing has changed since then.

It wasn't my theory.  It was another members "theory."  All I said is I would not be surprised.

 

  Why don't you take you issue up with the member who posted that they under fill tanks?

I don't trust the Thai's, especially where business is concerned, meaning MONEY. 

 

Look at the OP heading.  It was posted by Admin.  They called it "Death island."  Why would an island in Thailand be called such name?  How would it get such a reputation? 

 

Wake up.

They tried to say similar to the fiends and families of the bed bug victims. Until the truth was released in the global media.  Then, it was all back flips.  

 

 

Why are you trying to wave it away, which I find "immensely disrespectful" to the deceased, and his friends and family. 

 

Do you have financial interests on the island, or in the industry?

I suspect that his diving quals may have been exaggerated by a bit.  If he was already a certified Master Diver (50 dives), I don't know of any additional diving quals that someone could get so quickly, let alone 2.   As a certified Master Diver, the next step would have been pursuing his DiveMaster cert, which would have required at least 10 more dives and a lot of time & training.

I think he very likely rushed his ocean dives before he was ready and got himself killed, perhaps even a heart attack.

Maybe he had already gained his Experience in Ireland and did the tests in Thailand. Probably cheaper. You suggest he may have rushed his Ocean dives before he was ready. The Article advises that he was from Quilty which is on the West coast of Ireland. He would have lived 1 to 10 mins walk from the Atlantic ocean. All of his diving would have been in the Ocean.

While I knwo fear of tanrishing it's reputation would quash my idea, I sincerely wonder if it'd be useful for 

Thailand  to make a pamplet for incoming tourist to read telling about such things as this lad's  mysterious death,

 

Emphasizing such things  as travel insurance and such could help to prevent many of the sad cases we have read about on TVF with someone in a hospital needing a procedure but lacking the funds to have it.
