I just heard from another forum that Bill Prince, captain of the Nordic Diver charter, has passed away. My understanding is that it was from a heart attack while he was taking a rebreather course at Lake Wazee. Does anyone else have any information?
 
From an e-mail I got this morning from someone who knew Bill:

Captain Bill Prince of the Nordic Diver in Milwaukee, Wisc., died on Monday in Lake Wazee in Wisconsin of an apparent heart attack. Bill was doing training dives for a re-breather he recently purchased and at 107' he gave the thumbs up abort signal to his instructor and called the dive. He switched to his bailout bottle at 70' and at 30' went unconscious and unresponsive. Attempts at the surface failed to revive him.
So very sad...
 
Another tragic loss. Bill was a unique character and someone I was just getting to know. Condolences to all those who are close to him.
 
Capt Bill was a great guy and will be dearly missed. I enjoyed many a dives over the years with him.
