Condolences to her family & friends.
I agree with you. We need more information.
I dove in Kakaban once. I don’t recall any specific skill diving required. It’s a typical easy diving site.
Around that area, there is a special skill of diving required in the Channel (Big Fish Country) dive site in Maratua Atoll, where you would need to do a negative entry to the deep (30m) channel and drift up to a ledge & hook up at the edge of the ledge as the current picks up, similar to Blue Corner or Peleliu Corner in Palau.
Nothing like that in Kakaban. It is more known of the stingless jellyfish lake similar to the one in Palau. You just snorkel there.

Previously reported, the 45-year-old Malaysian WNA died after diving at a depth of approximately 30 meters at Barracuda Point around Kakaban Island, on Tuesday (26/2) at around 12:30 pm.
