He mentioned the lost diver in an email, but he didn't know any details.

Tourist missing after dive in Mexico
From correspondents in Cancun, Mexico January 02, 2008 05:50am

AUTHORITIES were searching yesterday for a Japanese tourist who went missing on Sunday when she was scuba diving off the Mexican resort island of Cozumel.
Cozumel naval officials said the woman went missing off the island's south coast, but did not immediately disclose her name. Local radio Turquesa reported however the woman was Y I, 40.

A Civil Protection official said the search by sea and air had been on since the woman was reported missing Sunday.

"So far we have no idea where this tourist could be, we do not know if she is alive," one official said privately.

Cozumel is part of Mexico's Riviera Maya, a resort area which draws many of the country's international visitors.

I think the current goes northward, hopefully, she is still OK. The way how drift diving is done there makes it easy to lose a diver or two, and also risky for getting hit by boats.
