good points.
as for the first one, the known battery bounce issue that has come up does seem to leave this possibility open and unresolvable unless AP or family were to release the log...if there is any log of that dive then he turned the handset on.
Even if that had happened, wouldn't proper protocol have ensured that the problem was spotted? It didn't sound like a deep dive, so even if the unit bounced, it would have been a while before the O2 decayed.
Said without prejudice - whatever the cause, this is a real tragedy as someone has died leaving unanswered questions and no explanations.

on the second point, better protocal would be to have it first inspected by an objective third party but is there truly such a person in such a small niche. Certainly in this case a log of the dive would be very telling at the very least.
Well said - without letting in the dead hand of the law, we are not going to get an objective third party in this industry.
Cheers,
