Made it back to the dock today, and someone said they heard a distress call from the Down Under boat. They also mentioned the crew was doing CPR on an unresponsive diver. Anyone have more information they can share?

Thanks for the info Stone. Did you hear what location they were diving?
Location was not mentioned, but a first hand witness on a local forum said the diver did not make it.

First hand report from local forum says boat was on the "Navy Tug". Second dive after diving the "Lu Lu".
We should see local coverage/reporting today.

I knew him. He was a good friend of mine, an excellent diver. I was supposed to make that trip but I couldn't. He had two great friends on board with him. RIP Larry!
I'm not holding my breath. Usually all we get is the radio chatter from the distress call, and maybe a report from someone else on the boat.
