Daniel Carlock Jr. filed a lawsuit Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court against Ocean Adventures Dive Co. and its employees, accusing them of negligence, inflicting emotional distress and fraud.
Carlock, 46, alleges Ocean Adventures left him off Santa Catalina Island on April 25, 2004, then lied about his location, delaying his rescue for five hours. He was eventually rescued by Boy Scouts in the area.

Sorry ;)
I forgot ;)
sounds like an excellent opportunity for dive boat operators to use RFID chips to track their clients...
There are night dives and then there are night dives. Night dives made from shore are less perilous. Jumping off a boat into 45 feet of darkness is another story. When you first start diving, night diving is something you feel obligated to do or you're just not a diver. I made several and frankly didn't get the bang for the buck. I found it to be more tedious than anything else. At 10:00 p.m., my ass belongs at the bar havin a cold one, not dealing with a pile of cold, wet dive gear. I dont do night dives any more. For me , they are just not worth the effort.
