Was part of this dive group, seemed like a heart attack on the surface. He hadn’t descended yet, and had no pulse when we pulled him back onto the boat. Very sad for the wife who was part of the dive group as well and had to witness the ordeal

Really sad news, especially for his wife, family, and the other divers 
I went to Rainbow Beach with my daughter last month, to dive Wolf Rocks for my birthday, and was probably my best ever dives. It really is a beautiful part of the world, and the deceased was doing something he enjoyed at the time of his departure
"Wolf Rock Dive" is the only dive centre that goes to the Wolf Rocks dive site, and my experience with them was very positive. Very clear and concise dive briefing, and all dives are on Nitrox.
