It's been a little over a week since the scuba death on the Big Island there. As is often the case, I don't know if this diver was scuba or snorkel, or much else for starters.

WAILUKU, Hawaii -- Maui police say a 60-year-old man was diving about 200 yards offshore from Wahikuli Wayside Park in Lahaina Thursday when he was hit a 19-foot boat and later died. The man is identified as William W. Gonzales from Lahaina. Investigators say he was accidentally struck by a 19-foot ski-boat recreational watercraft. Gonzales sustained injuries to both legs and had to be transported to shore on a lifeguard's jet ski. He was transported to Maui Memorial Medical Center where he died from his injuries.
