Deaths, sourcing[edit]

The attached comment appeared in the main article:

“

The above number if 6 total deaths needs to be verified. It cites a source of CDNN, which is known in the dive industry for being inaccurate and giving false information. The other four above noted deaths are confirmed.

”

I am moving it to the talk page, where it better belongs. Personally, I largely agree with the sentiment about CDNN (although I would say it tends to sensationalise and misreport rather than simply falsify stuff), but clearly that is way too POV for the main article. Presumably there must be some kind of reliable source for this info? --Legis (talk - contribs) 23:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DATE FORMAT INCONSISTENCY[edit]

In section "Sinking for reef", a date is shown as "On 10-11 June" which is not consistent with the date format of the rest of the article. International date is yyyy-mm-dd, Most countries use dd-mm-yy and the US uses mm-dd-yy, so ##-## is particularly confusing.Alessio.aguirre (talk) 11:52, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The dates all look to be dd-mm to me. —WWoods (talk) 18:26, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How deep is the ship?[edit]

That's interesting! Considering the fact, that a storm was obviously strong enough to turn it. 77.180.35.25 (talk) 15:18, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
