CALGARY A Calgary woman died Saturday while scuba diving in Mexico, and her family says police are investigating the tanks and equipment involved.
Ronda Cross was scuba diving with her cousin in Cabo San Lucas when she was overcome by carbon monoxide in the scuba tanks, according to a statement issued by her father-in-law, Dennis Cross.
Cross's husband, Colin, was golfing in Florida at the time.
"It is not certain how the CO entered the tanks, which were filled by the Sunshine Dive Shop in Cabo," the family's news release states. "Ronda was a very experienced diver, and the family is devastated by something that never should have happened."
The family says the dive shop was certified and should have been able to guarantee the air quality in the tanks.
The family is expressing concerns for other vacationers who use diving services in vacation areas and say divers who knew Ronda are "appalled by the apparent negligence.
