Case #97-02242-B. Plaintiff and his wife were scuba diving in Cozumel Mexico. The dive plan was for everyone to meet at the Asandy bottom@. However the captain of the boat took the diver to the wrong spot and there was no sandy bottom. It turned out that the Acaptain@ was not a captain at all and had no license or certification. When Plaintiff realized he was to deep he began to surface. While Plaintiff waiting at his AF@ stop, his wife began to float to the surface to fast and she signaled to him to help her. In going after her, he got decompression illness (bends) and an air embolism (arterial gas embolism). His real injury came because the dive boat had no oxygen. Plaintiff survived the injury and can walk but has numbness from the chest to his feet.
