Dive director struck, lost on Togo wreck - French Mediterranean

[DandyDon]

- hit the boat while jumping into the water and then sunk
- no mention of his age, nor of an ECCR or CCR

It's the second article in English, altho that might be a translation with confusion possibly, that says...

• the boat struck one of its divers while on the surface.
• The latter, a 60-year-old man, who was diving with a rebreather

Hi JMBL, happy to see you here.

As i said previously, the article is not fair.
The deceased diver is a voluntary (unpaid) instructor (french MF1 / Instructor 2* CMAS eq OWSI). And not a professional instructor or a dive master.
He was 61-year-old and came from the north of France.
As you can see on the picture, some rebreather on the boat
It seems the accident occured at the start of the dive.
But the exact circumstances of the accident are still unknown.

Hi Bardas, glad to see you here too,

Once again, press is either telling not enough or too much. Too bad.

Thank you for clarifying.

Boat struck diver seems very vague. Did the diver drop in, and current swept him under boat, and it dropped on him? Or, was the boat under power during drop, and it ran over him? These two scenarios would be drastically different on their own merits.
