'Honeymoon Murder': Scuba Experts on Tina Watson's Death "She was doing a dive to a depth that she had never been to before, in conditions she'd never experienced before," Edmonds said. He said that, in the context of diving accidents, Tina's death was neither mysterious nor suspicious. Carl Edmonds is a diving medical expert who has examined this case and was prepared to testify for the defense. Police started comparing it to the dive computer.ĭr. Fellow passengers came forward, saying Watson's story didn't add up. When Australian police interviewed Gabe Watson for details on what happened, it became more of an interrogation. We just all kinda piled into each other and at some point fell to the floor. John Downie, a cruise passenger who is a doctor and who tried to help Tina Watson, told Gabe Watson his wife was dead. "I don't ever want to see one of my loved ones being worked on like that, ever." "That's not something I can handle," Watson said. He brought her up, and crew members and fellow passengers tried to resuscitate her for over 40 minutes while Gabe was comforted by other divers on another boat. At the surface, he yelled for help, and a dive master raced to find Tina. Watson ascended in a controlled way to avoid injury, as with any scuba dive. I don't know that there's anything that I was actually capable of doing." "I don't know what I would have done had I stayed with her. "I don't think I was making rational choices at that point," said Watson. And that - I just decided I got to go find somebody." "I kinda just turned on my head and gave a few kicks down to see if I could grab her," he said. She was reaching out for me to grab ahold of her." "She was face up, and she had her arms up. When he turned around to look, Tina was 10 feet down and sinking, he said. Gabe let go of Tina to replace his mask, he said. "All of a sudden I just felt this whack across my face, and my mask got, like, turned off to the side of my face," he said.
