The first reply to my introduction on Rebreather World was from Sven. The very next day I met Sven at Bazza's Shop here in Sydney. Even though Sven was there as a customer this gentleman sat down and talked and talked as an immediate mentor for Scott and I as we neared the end of our course. Sven was from "The Shire" as well and we immediately hit it off well. It was so clear that Sven was conscious of diving safety which he hammered home in his mentoring chats, emails and phone converations in the following weeks.

Words fail me how low and gutted I felt when I heard of this tragedy early Sunday.

To his dive buddies at the Sydney Project my eternal respect for your valiant efforts to rescue Sven.
