Scuba diver death in Palm Beach

[gatorchick]

I was just listening to my local news (Gainesville, FL) and they reported a diver died in the past day or so diving on Deep Obsession through Scuba Adventures in Riviera Beach (Palm Beach). There were no details as to what happened, anyone have further info? I dove with this shop this past Saturday (as it was a recommended dive op on this board)...they were wonderful...very professional and safety conscious from what I saw. It is certainly likely that this death was related to an nondiving-related medical issue (whether diagnosed prior or not). Just curious as to whether anyone has heard anything.

My apologies for posting this here, more info under accident/incidents section of scubaboard.

Let's all keep our thoughts and prayers with the family and friends of this diver who passed away at least doing something that I'm sure he loved.
