With Judge A. Cannon (arguably another loose cannon) at the helm of sentencing, McCabe’s best shot at this point is to appear at sentencing completely decked out in MAGA regalia.
That way Cannon will reduce the charges to improper operating astern and document mismanagement and torpedo the case.
An horrific incident in a casual, high-volume industry that seems regulated most often in arrears.
I've met some great dive operators -- responsible enthusiasts with great local knowledge, often running a long-term family business. Their knowledge and character become part of the understanding and appreciation of dive-sites for what can be thousands of visitors.
But there are always also these.
Thanks to Peter for additionally digging into root causes. It didn't make me shudder less but raised interesting points on good dive-boat design and testing, and on the importance of burden of proof in legislation.

I missed this earlier and posted the same thoughts!
What a dumb comment to post!

Noting the judge in the case, perhaps if wears a maga hat to his sentencing, he will get the charges dismissed
Mr. Anderson here might have one or three Mr. McCabe could borrow for the occasion.
I’m glad to have given T. Anderson something to criticize!
What a slime bag. And to think, illegal charters are going out every day.
Great story! Thanks Peter
So what was the Judge's sentence of McCabe?
