It is with great sorrow and grief that I received the news that Dimitris "Dima" Stavrakakis, an accomplished scuba diver from Poland, lost his life earlier today.

Dimitris was just 50 years old and it appears he succumbed to a diving accident.

More details as to the exact circumstances of his accident will be posted at a later stage, when they are confirmed.

May Dima rest in peace.

Condolences to his family.

It was an honour and privilege being friends Dima, we will miss you...

Dimitris shared his experience diving at the world's most deadly naval tragedy and at the only WW2 German aircraft carrier

UPDATE 07/07/2016

According to an official statement, Dima's passing was due to "natural causes" and not related to a "diving accident"...

The statement reads as follows:

We regret to inform, that on 05 July 2016 during common diving trip around the Oland Island our friend Dimitris Stavrakakis passed away.

Dima died of natural causes, it wasn't a diving accident.

He was a reliable friend and an authority for us.

Condolences for his wife, children, all relatives and friends.
