I.m a commercial diver myself, and if i am correct, Michaels should have had an accend time of at least 9 hours to decompress. On different depths while ascending. If he,s been there for 3 hours on 100 feet. Would be interesting to know if he was put in a decompression chamber. Tragic for all involved.

Thanks for sharing this story, Seth! Like a lot of Outer Cape residents, I knew a few of the details, but not the whole horrifying event.
