This is very sad news. From eveyone who loves to dive our thoughts go to his family at this time. And i think we should not speculate or gossip about what happened until an offical release is given.

It clearly states in the release that the incident occurred at 3PM! that's afternoon! There has nothing been officially release about circumstances of death so lets not try and speculate and wait till all the facts are released. People forget Diving is Classed as an extreme sport and risks go with that.

Before things get too out of control with these types of requests I urge people to read the rules of this forum. And I would hope that the night dive theory has been cleanly dispelled so not to worry.
