As no one else has posted anything on this, I will. My information comes from the person who did the recovery, as he was filling our tanks yesterday. As I was taken aback during his story, some details are sketchy, but as accurate as I remember.
At some point in the afternoon on Friday (I believe the 10/22/04), a husband and wife team was diving at Clear Springs Scuba Park in Terrell Texas. Something happened to the husband underwater, and the wife surfaced to go get help. She drove to where Michael, the young man who does airfills was (I would assume at the airfill station). Michael was recently certified and this was his second dive as a certified diver. He geared up over his pants and went looking for the husband as the wife called 911.
I believe the victim was somewhere on the North section of the lake. He mentioned finding the man somewhere around 30 or so, with no bubbles, and no regulator in his mouth. By the time they either surfaced, or made shore, the ambulance was on scene.
I spoke with Robert (who owns the park) about it for a few minutes yesterday and offered them our condolences. This appears to be the first fatality at CSSP and I pray its the last. This is a great site, with wonderful people; my prayers are with the bereaved family, and everyone who is part of the CSSP family.
If others have more details, I would appreciate knowing.
