Missing diver found entangled - Miri, Malaysia

[Divectionist]

Strange indeed.

The basic equipment suggests he may have been some local commercial fisherman.

Maybe but translation says "recreational activities".

Yea but a backplate with no BCD and no octo second stage is far from recreational.

So if the guy died of just death, who's up for some imaginary scenarios from inaccurate information anyway

70 bar! that would seem to indicate some other medical (probably) problem was the issue.

Possibly gas too.

Possibly gas too.

Not sure i follow. Thats 1000 psi left in the tank. Unless something else incapacitated me If i were trapped I would breath the whole tank down working the issue? Assuming a full tank to begin with wouldn't a gas issue have revealed itself earlier such as a contamination issue? I dont recall the report stating depth or gas mix so it could have been a MOD issue or CNS issue if he was breathing a mix. We arent going to ever know on this. I feel for his family.

I'm picturing someone who's task-loaded laying fishing traps, breathing heavily, and possibly fighting through symptoms of contaminated gas fixated on finishing his mission.

The depth gauge reads max depth was 14m.

My attempt translating Malay to English (fixing the butchered Google Translate):
The recreational diver's lifeless body was found by the PPDA BOMBA (local SAR rescue diver Marine) unit at 10.50 am (Monday). The victim was found entangled during diving in the final location.

The victim's body is now taken to Miri Marina Bay by the Marine."
