Anyone have any further info?

[June1st1998]

Husband and I are staying on Ambergris Caye in March to do some diving. I saw this article in the San Pedro times and was hoping someone here had further information; so far I have only read speculation. Thanks in advance!San Pedro Times

well it might be possible there is not much to say ! Unfortunately people of all nation pass away while scuba diving at one time to another. Sometimes it related to medical conditions, sometimes improper training, sometimes gear failure...this should not held you back. I always say that each dive i do i will face my destiny and i pray to come back.

Be safe

I was wondering the same. Probably won't find out any more information and it'll get buried.

This is a different incident. A female diver just passed away diving off of San Pedro this week.
