I heard of a diver fatality in Gilboa Ohio at the quarry.

Don't have all the details, but the basics I've heard are:

During a test dive of a DUI dry suit (with an instructor) he drifted off from the group. The group was at about 50 feet of water, and drifted to the deep end into 120 feet of water.

The Instructor chased after him, and caught up with him, and helped him to the surface. Apparently he was conscious at depth, and something happened on the way up. Possibly lost his reg??

Like I said, I don't have all the details.

Anyone else have any details??
