Lake Ray Roberst July 4th, 2008
Scuba accident
In Lake Ray Roberts, searchers found the body of a 31-year-old man who had gone scuba diving with his twin brother, said Capt. Neal Bieler of Texas Parks and Wildlife. According to initial reports, Kenneth Harper of Pilot Point ran out of air in his scuba tank. His brother attempted to reach him but could not. Does any one have any more details about this?

Lake Ray Roberts July 6th
Hello.
I read your post the other day. You had some questions regarding the diver that drowned. He was my brother-in-law, my husbands twin brother. The media reported that he ran out of air. That is not true. Please bear with me as I am not a diver, however the line that fills the BC ruptured. From all the investigations, he paniced and dropped his regulator. He was unnable to get out of his vest and weights in enough time. My husband spent what felt like hours searching for him and he was found by sonar. He still had 1200lbs of air, but over 60lbs of weight. This is a very difficult time for our family, however I wanted to set some of the record straight. Every paper, news report, ect all said he ran out of air. Also I am trying to find out more about SCUBAPRO as that is the manufacturer of the line that broke. |
