I kinda relate to it,
because I used to teach divers in Koh Tao, Thailand, and while there a student was killed in a similar way. The speedboat prop chopped straight through the metal valve on top of the air tank, and cut into their head. I knew the instructor - who had to pull them on to the boat, with the back of their skull missing. He was utterly devastated - and also, had no income at all for a very long time while it was all investigated. It's happened several times in Koh Tao, which has a terrible safety record (and the odd murder too). Despite all that, I'd still absolutely recommend going, because it's paradise.
