If anyone is wondering, it wasn't us.
Heard this on the TV news tonight. Very sad indeed.

...if it was anybody from the D2D Northern California contingent, since I know y'all go there on occasion. I hope not. I'll look tomorrow for an update on KSBW.com.

Thanks for the update Grunt. Sounds like they were not new to cold water or the location. Based on statements of other divers there that day the conditions in the cove were not terribly rough. Over all very puzzling.

That other board has quotes from one of the divers who pulled the woman out of the water.
