I heard on CJOH (Ottawa CTV) News last night that a diver from Ottawa died by the Long Sault Marina. Has anyone heard about this, and do you know the circumstances of the accident??

Could someone please tell me (us) about the environmental conditions at Long Sault... depth, temps, vis, etc. Also, what is there to dive and exactly where is it?
Thanks

After the initial descent, when the class had settled to the bottom, for some reason unknown to me there was an amount of silt stirred up. At this point the instructor elected to move the class a short way -- everyone was visible, just in a bit of a cloud of silt. The instructor signaled the move, and received acknowledgement. It was in this move apparently that the panic attack happened.
My prayers go out to the diver's family, and the divers present to find the comfort that they all need at this time.
