[Lil' Irish Temper]

I was reading the Buffalo News, and ran across this, anyone know anything?

St. Catharines, Ont. - A 57 year old St. Davids man drowned Sun. afternoon during an advanced diving class off the Port Dalhousie Yacht Club.

The dive was at a shipwreck in Lake Ontario, about 2.6 miles out from Port Dalhousie, according to Niagara Regional Police. After the diver experienced distress at about 3:30 p.m. he was brought to the surface and attended to by emergency personnel. He was pronounced dead at St. Catharines General Hospital. An autopsy will be performed.

Thats the 4th or 5th diver that has died this month alone. It's been a crappy season.

Condolences to the family.

Was supposed to be an autopsy today. He was a student in an AOW class, that's all that's known so far.

That is quite a bit for the month. I hope that Sept & future months will be better regarding accidents.

I would also like to extend my condolences to the family.
