Scuba diver dies

Reported by Mike Pache
Around one Saturday afternoon emergency responders were called to Captain John's Sports and Scuba Park.
Owners of the scuba facility say they are unclear how the man died but say he was an experienced diver who had at least 14 years of experience.
Witnesses say the man's face was blue when emergency responders pulled him from the water.
At this time owners of the park can only speculate how the man died.
"It could have just been panic. We kind of expect with the age being in his early fifties. I believe the possibility of a heart attack or stroke with the cold water and that. A little more excursion than what people would normally do," said John Mueller President of Captain John's Scuba Park.
The scuba park is home to Blue Water lake which at its deepest measures more than two hundred feet.
The scuba park is a training facility and dive spot for scuba divers.
