Dive Accident on Klein Friday

I just read a short post on Bonaire talk about a recent dive accident. I am not sure of the details since I left Friday. I hope the diver is okay. Does anyone have any info on what happened and if the diver is alright?:depressed:

We were also in Bonaire last week diving with Buddy Dive. We heard that a guy diving with Buddy Dive had a heart attack at depth, didn't make it. :depressed:

It doesn't appear that it was a dive-related incident. Information posted on the Bonaire police website indicates the victim was an 84 year old man who was snorkeling with his daughter when he suffered an apparent cardiac incident. The daughter managed to tow him to land on Klein Bonaire, where she then flagged down a nearby dive boat for assistance.

Sorry that he passed away. Glad the incident didn't claim his daughter as a victim too.

I guess if I am 84 and going to cash in my chips, I could pick a worse place than with my daughter in a beautiful place...

We all have an expiration date, just like almost everything in the fridge. Home last night from a week of diving in Bonaire.
At 64 I know most of the good stuff is in the rear view mirror, knocked out eleven dives and some awesome snorkeling in
Bonaire, haven't been there in seven years, love the place.... When I have to checkout, that would do. Sorry for the family's loss.

I would certainly opt for going that way - with one difference. Wouldn't want my daughter there.
