I'm a little late to this tread but have found it interesting.  I thought
Lee provided an excellent overview of the situation and I agree with him
and Strike.  From the Aggressor’s perspective, I hope someone has told
Hasson to shut-up.

Anyway, what I found most interesting from the very limited information
available was the following:

>In fact, the only thing both men agree on is the Coast Guard's discovery
of
>Rubin's air tank some 28 miles from the dive site, and at least one of two
>inflatable locator devices, known as "sausages."

If the investigation indicates that the sausage was deployed then it is
reasonable to conclude the diver was on the surface and waiting for pick-
up.  Reports of insufficient fuel aboard the tender(s)now becomes much
more important evidence.

Watch this space. :)
