This one is in no way related to last weeks loss... The datails are still sketchy but I'll share what I've found out so far.
The diver in question was a very well known and experienced diver. Mia, was reported to have around 5000+ dives. She was a marine biologist working for the Scripps Institute of Oceanography Her husband is reported to be a writer for Skin Diver magazine.
Apparently she was diving in San Diego's wreck alley. The first dive was on the HMCS-Yukon (for some reason that site is down right now) then to the famous El-Rey wreck just a few hundred yards from the Yukon.
She was reported to have run out of air and hastily requested a fresh cylinder to go back down and do a deco stop. She descended beneath the waves. The fresh cylinder and b.c. were found floating on the surface without her just a few minutes later.
The only other info I have is that they were diving off of a small craft and that the radio may not have been working.
