Everything about this seems fishy. (No pun intended) The other divers would have seen if her air was turned off when they got to her. It's the first thing I would have checked. From a normal hug position can you reach the air flow knob on the other person? On my tanks you can't use your finger tips to screw it closed....so did the other divers seen him screwing the knob closed with his hand while at the same time holding on to her???

This whole case is weird to me.

It almost seems that the other divers would have to be in on it...is that possible?

I don't get why she sank!? In salt water no less..

“I don’t get why she sank!? In salt water no less.. “

my friend has done it to me on numerous training dives. So its not hard to do it without noticing. You don’t even have to hug someone.

I also don’t think it unlikely that they didn’t notice her air tank was turned off. Rescues can be very very hectic and the dive master we see swimming after her was probably more interested in getting her to the surface.

Its easy to sink in salt water if you have enough weight on.

If you run out of air and try to breath water (drowning), your lungs fill with water, and you will sink. On top of that, if he squeezed out the air in her BC, her diving weights would help sink her, too.
