Isn't this the same incident (and same location) as you already posted in another thread? Just a 'her' and 'he' translation difference? Or a seperate incident at the same place?

Sounds like 2 separate incidents. One a 54 year old woman diving with friends the other a 19 year old man who is missing. I dont know the area. Are La Maddalena and Sardinia the the same site? Regardless, sad news. Hope they find the missing diver.

I wondered why they were so similar with differences in gender but I think you're right. I asked the Mods to delete the other thread and leave this one with the better translation.

I don't think the "19" in the other one was an age. I think Kay is right.

"19 AGO" means the 19th of August...
It is the same accident. The first news were launched as soon as the coast guard was alerted. The second one was given after the body was recovered.
More details are available now in Italian news. They say that the female diver was in distress just after splashing down, signalling difficulty of breathing. The DM attempted to give her his regulator, but the problem was not related to equipment, she had probably cardiopulmonary problems.
The whole group immediately resurfaced with her, but at surface she was already unconscious. Several attempts of resuscitation did fail, and finally she was pronounced dead.
From what is published in Italian news, it appears either a cardiac event or a case of lung oedema.

The diving site was Isolotto dei Monaci, as shown in the following map, where you also see Caprera and la Maddalena. These are small islands close to the North of Sardinia, some of the best diving sites of the whole Mediterranean sea:

Sad to hear this, it is beautiful diving there, I was stationed there in early ‘80s with the US Navy.
