I just saw this on the Oregonian website. I have no other details, but it reads like a Rescue Diver scenario.
My condolences to her friends and family.

HOODSPORT, Wash. -- An Oregon woman has died after a diving accident in Washington's Hood Canal.
The Mason County sheriff's office said 42-year-old Jauna Marian Gilnett of Eagle Creek, in Oregon's Clackamas County, died today at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. She was pulled from Hood Canal on Sunday afternoon.
The Kitsap Sun reported that Gilnett had been diving with a 44-year-old Portland man when the two apparently lost track of time and air supply. As they ascended to the surface, the woman signaled she was out of air.
The investigation showed that Gilnett panicked when they reached the surface and was unable to release her weight belts. The man called for help and tried to hold onto her but lost his grip in the rough water.
The sheriff's office said other divers found the woman a short time later in about 20 feet of water.
