Hey Gang,
These kinds of questions r always a big bummer but has anyone heard anything about a diver dying at the Underwater Park in Catalina on Friday (10/12)?
Was there over the weekend (Fri-Sun)...Things were really quiet at Casino Pt on Fri... Hardley any divers out...Somewhere between 3:30 & 5 pm I think, we saw the rescue boat go out & pull someone out. Not to be crass but the person didn't make it-- Saw them put them in a body bag (couldn't even tell if it was a man or woman). Gear was set aside but couldn't tell if it belonged to the person or not. Saw a nitrox tank but didn't see a "buddy".
We obviously didn't want to hang around & be "looky-loos"... Let the rescue team do their job. Bowed our heads in a moment of silence. Later, asked around town at the dive shops & nobody seemed to know about it. But the waitress at the little restaurant right next to the Casino told us that a diver had died... She didn't know why... This makes 2 at the Underwater park this year...
So tragic. Has anyone heard anything?
