Coming up from our dive yesterday morning there was a lot of activity and chatter on the vhf regarding an accident (fatality?) just south of the inlet off Pompano, a female diver. Anyone have any details?

Sorry to hear. She was doing what she loved and I'm sure she will be still with you on every dive

Sorry to hear about your dive buddy, as others have said she was doing what she enjoyed. I also appreciate the clear information on this event it kills the need for wild speculation.
