Sometimes divers witness accidents and want to share the story, but prefer to remain anonymous - so based on a PMed report...
Sunday morning a student diver on an AOW deep dive at Lake Wazee in Wisconsin had a fatal incident.
The diver was with an instructor at about 100 when he indicated that he needed to ascend. The instructor ascended with the student, who refused to stop for the safety stop, to the surface. At the surface the instructor told the student they should go back down to do the safety stop. Student refused and said something was wrong and then went unresponsive.
The instructor brought the student to shore started CPR and was joined in the rescue by another instructor, DM and DM intern. CPR and Oxygen were administered until the Ambulance Arrived and transported him to the hospital. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
