Excerpting from Rescues, Marine Inspections Keep Coast Guard Busy | Military.com
Also, Coast Guard marine investigators in Maui are responding to the reported death of a diver Friday. The operator of a commercial vessel notified the Coast Guard of the incident involving a middle-aged man who became distressed while conducting a night dive off the Big Island.

The crew of the vessel recovered the man and contacted emergency medical services personnel, who met them at Honokohau Marina. He was transferred to Kona Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
