It is aweful to write this, but sadly my 49 year old boss passed away this weekend, while diving of the coast of Norway. Lars Petter was an experienced diver, and the incident came as a shock to friends, family and colleagues.
It is still not clear what caused the accident, as he was believed to be in good health, and to have a responsible focus on diving safety. All that is known is that he was brought to the surface by his fellow dive-buddies, and EFR was performed. The ambulance helicopter was quick to arrive, but sadly the doctor was unable to save his life.
I write this with confusion and sorrow. We talked about his trip on friday and i remember telling him how lucky he was to go diving over the weekend. I don't understand how something like this can happen... How should I deal with this? I don't know who to talk to, as I don't want to scare my friends and family.
All I know is that im going to continue to dive. And I hope that everyone remembers to keep safe while diving.
Rest in peace Lars Petter. My thoughts go out to you, your wife and son.
