I saw the rescue orange boat south past Residencias Reef Condo this morning around 8 am and then again north while on a catamaran day sailing around 10 am. When I asked the mates on the boat they said they were looing for a missing DM. I have no information except what has already been stated. Just wondering if anyone else has any information. Might be totally false - just checking.
Missing DM??? Not sure real or not

Reported disappearance of a diver
COZUMEL, May 3 .- A diver was lost in the reef area of Cozumel. The report indicates that he was diving near Paso del Cedral.
Almost at the drop of information came the diver who had strayed already late this afternoon, apparently had gone with two to three known to dive in the southern part of the island.
According to reports, an initials M.A, was introduced to the sea accompanied by two friends, but only he failed to emerge, so they were looking for him in the sea with the team of diver but they did not find it and they Proceeded to give part to the Naval Station of Search and Rescue.
It transcended that it has initiated a protocol of search, but to be very late, no longer gave time to continue with the natural light, And it would be until Thursday that work would continue in the area where a possible perimeter was established to try to locate it.
The Port Captaincy was not aware of the loss because the search party is now the naval station with its fast boats.

While they probably will never admit to this, but Divemasters are not scuba gods. Even DMs have bad days. And some days are worse than others.
I hope they find their missing diver safe...but if it is already in the paper it mostlikely is too late

Saw rescue boat out today driving very slow with spotters between Cedral and Punta Tuniche
I can confirm it's a local expert diver, an only son, a part time taxi driver who is missing. The two divers he was with were able to escape the downwelling and he is presumed to have been unable to. Search is ongoing.
Difficult news.

Peace be with his family. I hope they find comfort in knowing he left doing something he surely loved.

I, frankly, don't accept that only a down current took the life of a "expert" DM. I have been in a whole bunch of down currents since 1992 (especially this time of year) and it is a pretty simple thing to deal with if you are prepared. I also hope that all DMs will include solutions to this in their dive briefings, but maybe not. Perhaps we ought to have a thread about that on this forum.
