From Divernet
"Richard Avent, 58, his wife Dr Sian Rees, 56, and their son Rhydian, 16, were diving with a local diving instructor.

Dr Rees and the instructor are reported to have descended to a depth of 21m, while father and son remained together at a shallower depth.

Shortly after receiving a signal from Avent that all was well, the instructor and Dr Rees are reported to have looked up again to see the other pair holding each other and sinking, motionless."
