Diver Death at Stoney Cove, UK

BBC NEWS | UK | England | Leicestershire | Inquiry into scuba diver's death

Does anyone have any more information? Was this a student or what? It mentions being under the supervision of a Dive Club in Seaham.

Dive school not dive club and thats a very important difference. Dive schools are commercial therefore have to abide by HSE regulations, dive clubs do not.

Therefore there would have had to be mandatory 1 x surface support and 2 x support divers in the water (all with redundant gas, medicals, insurance) at the minimum.

The person might have been a student, or possibly even a member of staff. If it was a dive CLUB (non commercial) none of the above would be the case.
