Tributes have been paid to a "passionate and respected" Hull doctor who tragically died during a deep sea diving trip in Greece.

Dr Vincent Hong, 53, was a consultant cardio-thoracic anaesthetist who worked at both Castle Hill Hospital and Spire Hospital in Anlaby.


The much-loved father was also a hyperbaric physician and a keen diver who travelled the world taking underwater photographs.

His tragic death happened during a diving trip off a Greek island on Friday, September 27.

Announcing his unexpected death on social media, his wife Lily and daughter Elly said he would forever be in their hearts and died "doing something he loved".

Following the shock post on his own Facebook page, hundreds of friends from all over the world have also paid tribute.
