A young man’s life was tragically taken on Thursday, 20 March, at the Hotel Meridien in Pointe-aux-Piments. At around 9:25 AM, Brian Dorine, a 27-year-old diver and assistant with Blue World Explorer, lost his life in an explosion involving a scuba tank.

Witnesses described the scene as chaotic when the blast occurred while Mr. Dorine, a resident of Curepipe, was refilling a tank using a compressor.

The intensity of the explosion was such that it resulted in instant fatality, leaving emergency responders to confirm his death upon arrival.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, aiming to determine the precise causes of this dreadful event and to ensure that all safety measures were properly followed during the tank refilling process.
