Viviane Robert died while supervising a trip to the Royan diving club.

Friday, a diving accident took place during a trip organized by the Royan Ocean Club Diving in Spain. Viviane Robert, 60, died during an underwater trip, while accompanying a group of young Royans in the Medes Islands, off Catalonia.

According to the "Diari de Girona", a local newspaper, the facts took place this Friday, August 23 at midday, while Viviane Robert was immersed in a place she knew well to have already dived. During the expedition, the sexagenarian, member of the ROC Royan for many years and used to this sport, alerted a member of the group when she began to experience difficulties. One of the guides then intervened to help him get back to the surface.
