There's very little info around right now about specifics, but a tech diver died this week on the Unicorn wreck north of Mango Bay near Koh Tao. It's at least the second fatality on that wreck.
Ted and his buddy, and two other technical divers were ascending from a trouble free, 44m, dive when at approx 20m, Ted became unresponsive. His buddy immediately took him to the surface where surface support egressed him onto the dive boat.
There was a speedboat nearby that took Ted to Koh Tao and Advanced care, arriving within 25mins of his surfacing. All attempts to revive him were unsucessful.
All gases were correct and in good supply. All equipment working perfectly.
Obviously in a case like this friends and family would like to know the cause, but I'm not sure we ever will.
