I recently returned from a cruise of the Western Caribbean. 14 of us divers booked a "shore excursion", well actually a 2 tank certified dive in Grand Cayman. This incident occurred on March 1, 2005. Towards the end of the first dive, one of the divers appeared ok at the 15 foot safety stop. However, when I reached the surface, the crew on the boat were pulling the diver up the ladder and even at the point, he did not appear to be alive. Although several of the crew and another diver, who was a nurse tried to revive him, he never regained consciousness and died. Speaking for myself, I was in a state of shock. We know things like this happen, we just do not expect to see it in front of us. Several of us talked about it while diving at the 2nd port in Cozumel and wondered what exactly happened to him and if there was anything we could have done to prevent his death. I was just wondering if anyone had heard anything further about this incident. Several of us were single divers and therefore, knew nothing about this gentleman. The only positive thing that we could say about the entire event is that at least he died doing something that he obviously enjoyed.
