Camogli, malore durante l'immersione, sub sessantenne muore nel mare di Punta Chiappa
Google translation...
Tragedy in the sea between Punta Chiappa and Portofino, to lose his life Maurizio Peragallo, 65 years old, Genoese, who after a diving dive was rescued lifeless at about 30 meters deep from another diver .

The intervention of the Harbor Master's Office, of the divers of the firefighters and of the 118 doctors who arrived on the spot even with the helicopter was of no use.

From the first rumors the man may have been struck down by an illness, perhaps a heart attack . A diver who had dived with him when he saw him on the seabed believed he was taking pictures, then he realized that he was motionless and sounded the alarm.

Among the first to arrive on the spot the divers of the firefighters who also mobilized with the helicopter , but it was all useless.

The news of the death has thrown in despair the many who knew Peragallo, who lived in via Sapeto, in San Martino and for many years worked as head of the room at the 118 operations center of the Genoa polyclinic.

His great passions have always been the sea and scuba diving , "but it was almost certainly a heart attack to cut him off," a friend who learned of the tragedy from the other divers who took part in the tragic dive at Punta Chiappa. "If a heart attack happens to you on the sofa, maybe it leaves you time to run to the hospital, but if it happens at thirty meters deep, it leaves you no way out."
