Very sad, first real diving problem this year.
Police investigate diving death
The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) has begun an investigation after a 47- year-old woman passed away while diving on Saturday (January 19) in West Bay.
The 911 Emergency Communications Centre received a call from a member of the public at around 10.40am reporting that a woman aboard a dive boat was unconscious and being brought back to shore at West Bay public beach.
Medics and police were deployed to the scene while CPR was administered aboard the boat. The woman was taken to hospital but unfortunately passed away. It would appear the woman had been diving with a group of others when she passed out returning to the surface.
The woman had been vacationing in Cayman and was from England. A police investigation is underway and a post mortem will be carried.
