An American visitor to New Providence died while on a diving trip organised by Stuart's Cove Wednesday morning, according to police.
The victim is a 55-year-old man from California, according to police press liaison officer Sergeant Chrislyn Skippings.
According to her, the man was part of a group that went on a dive trip with the company yesterday morning.
She said when the group returned it was discovered that the unidentified man was missing.
"A check of the immediate area was conducted and the man was found floating in nearby waters, clad in a black and blue dive suit, with the breathing apparatus attached," she said.
Management at Stuart's Cove had no comment on the matter yesterday.
When The Nassau Guardian arrived on the scene, the many guests at the dive operation seemed unaware of what had transpired.
Police say it was unclear as to exactly what happened and investigations continue.
Unfortunate accident with no cause mentioned but I am severely disappointed that the crew didn't even notice him missing when they left the site, if this part is accurate...?

It doesn't say anything about the crew leaving the site and not noticing him missing.
I will no longer be responding to vision care advice requests either via pm or on the thread I started on that subject. My apologies in advance for any consternation that may result.

It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now ... Cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring a budget surplus."

Last time I dove with Cove they checked our names off as we left the boat and rechecked us off when we reboarded. Doubt they left the dive site without noticing the missing person. Still, this is a tragedy.
Ever notice how so many of these deaths are of people between 50 and 55?
I seem to also notice when a grumpy old guy has a heart attack, etc.. while diving, it is a "diving death". It gets written up in 3rd string new papers and CDNN. This pile of 3rd and 4th hand misinformation is then discussed in A&I for the next 3 days.
When he has one walking, jogging, playing tennis, driving, in bed, etc... it is a plain old heart attack that is hardly considered news worthy even by the peanut gallery.
