    Very sad story of a diver apparently running out of air and passing away.

    What a sad and terrible story, Sean. Condolences to friends and family of the deceased.

    Despite the somber circumstances, it's nice to see you on SB. Hope you and family are doing well in the islands.

    It's always very sad to hear about a dive related death.

    Very sad to hear.

    Condolences to the diver's family and friends.

    SAN DIEGO -- Authorities Thursday released the name of a 48-year-old
    Ventura County man who apparently drowned while scuba diving in the
    ocean off La Jolla Shores.

    ****** ******** of Camarillo was pronounced dead at 6:22 p.m.
    Wednesday at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, according to the
    San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office.

    The man got into distress for unknown reasons offshore from the
    popular northern San Diego coastal park near Spindrift Golf Course
    about 5 p.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.


    After lifeguards used a water scooter to get the victim to shore, they
    worked to revive him, then turned him over to an ambulance crew,
    department spokesman Maurice Luque said.

    ****** ******* was apparently diving alone, authorities said.

    That is always a hard thing to read when it happens locally. My thoughts go to the family as well.

    Sounds like he recently moved to El Cajon. His profile is at the middle of the page.
