I got a text message from a friend today saying that a police officer died while scuba diving on a local news tv in Batangas. So, I checked on news and doesn't match the story. One news said there's 7 of them and the other say theres 8 of them diving. Mabini or Ligaya?
Here are the news from different entity.

MANILA, Philippines - An official of a special unit of the San Juan City police drowned while undergoing diving training in Mabini, Batangas yesterday morning.
Senior Inspector Renato Samson, 36, acting chief of the San Juan City Polices Special Reaction Unit, died while being taken to the Mabini General Hospital. The SRU is the equivalent of the Special Weapons and Tactics unit.
According to the city polices official website, Samson is the current commander of the San Juan City Police Station 7 and SRU.
Inspector Florintino Buenafe, deputy chief of the Mabini police, said the incident occurred around 9 a.m. while Samson and eight other policemen were scuba diving in waters off Barangay Ligaya.
Buenafe said the group arrived in the area Saturday night for their two-day training and was on the last dive before heading home.
He added that Samsons companions said he had a problem with his training gear shortly after a dive and that he panicked.
Samsons companions eventually managed to pull him out of the water and brought him to the hospital, Buenafe said.
Sadly, news doesn't tell all the story.
Our condolence to the family, relatives and friends. May his soul rest in peace.
