Read "Deep Descent" by Kevin F. McMurray. I don't believe either one of them died diving the Doria.
No. But welcome to the board!

no, the Gimbels ( I assume you mean Peter and Elga) did not die on the Doria. Elga was already a well-known documentary maker prior to marrying Peter, but I don't think she
was a diver (i could be wrong).
Anyways, Peter led four or five expeditions to the Doria, besides being the first diver
to dive it, just a day after the Doria sank, and both their ashes were placed on the
Doria after their deaths.
they did not die on the Doria, but rather, wanted to rest there due to the importance of the ship in their lives.
by the way,
Deep Descent is a great book on the Doria, as R_Deluca said.
