SeaWorld San Diego has canceled its Shamu shows for the second day following Dawn Brancheau's death in Orlando. SeaWorld San Diego has not had an orca attack since 2006, when Kasatka dragged trainer Ken Peters underwater. The attack was similar to the one in which Tilikum killed Orlando Sea World trainer Dawn Brancheau, though Ken Peters survived.

Is there not a small breathing apparatus that trainers could have with them at all times incase they are dragged into the water to prevent drowning?
