    American tourist dies while diving Cozumel caves.....

    Google Translate

    I guess the obvious first questions are was he trained to do these type of dives?
    Were they accompanied by a local professional?

    Hard to read the Google translation. Not enough info on the diver's training or circumstances of the dive.

    Are you certain that is him? The name is very close but still different. It is very possible that the MX paper spelled it wrong but it is worth asking how we arrived at knowing it was him.

    Agreed. Bad enough that an accident happened, but no sense getting friends and family excited and worried if you name the wrong person.

    No, I'm not. Actually, the Mexican paper appears to spell it exactly as it should be, if it's the same person. The spelling changes, in the Google translation...

    I did not notice the change by Google......I am surprised that if it was a member of their community, that there was nothing (that I could see) on CDF. I think I will take that linked thread with a grain of salt until something confirming appears. Just in case.
