Hey guys! New to the forum here, and am looking for some help. I'm currently working with DAN as a research intern and am trying to compile freediving fatality cases. Was wondering if anyone had cases, links to articles, etc that could help me out. Can always report them directly to DAN. Thanks!!!

A friend of mine died in a solo freediving incident in the V.I. back in 1993. Shallow water blackout was assumed. A real loss.

Have you tried the freedivelist http://www.freediver.net/ or the freedive board at http://forums.deeperblue.net/ ? More likely to have information there.

In 1993, my friend Bob Johnson called to say that a buddy had died while freediving off San Diego. It was ruled heart attack. The male diver was in his early fifties, age wise.
In 1973, Al Schneppershoff died while freediving Guadalupe Island (Mexico). Shark attack. He was 36.
A few years ago, a couple from the US were honeymooning in Jamaica. The man went snorkeling from the hotel beach and did not return. His corpse was found the next day. No cause found. Ruled drowning, I believe. He was in his twenties or early thirties. Subject of television news cast.
