Seems like an awful way to start the week of ScubaFest. I couldn't find anything online, and am hoping I have heard incorrectly.

Haven't heard of anything other than an ambulance brought a patient on a stretcher to the Calle 5 hyberbolic chamber clinic in the late morning.

From another source I learned of the death of Lindsey McFadden in Cozumel on Dec. 8 who "passed away while scuba diving". I have no details.

What I heard from someone very close to the event is that there was an existing (but unknown) medical condition that caused her death after surfacing from a dive. According to the information I got, her death was not related to the dive, it would have happened regardless of her location or activity.

Nothing in online news about Lindsey or Lindsay McFadden, but then much of what happens on Coz stays on Coz. This thread made google search yesterday for "diver death" but nothing about that name or Coz.
