Family has been notified and one of my former students was involved in the recovery.
 
Yah
But it's been kept pretty quiet. So I wasn't going to be the first to post.
 
He was an awesome dive buddy, may him RIP
 
So it sounds like a case of oxygen toxicity.

ANALYZE YOUR GAS. Every. Single. Time.

CHECK YOUR MOD. Every. Single. Time.
 
Where are the details that make it sound like Ox Tox?

Cave Diving isn't my thing but it is for a friend. He told me he read the same cause.
 
From people on the scene Manni.
He took a stage bottle filled with Oxygen and swam it upstream 400' at a depth of about 85'.
 
Carlos Fonseca...RIP.
 
Surreal... his last facebook update was:

Time to pull out a few stages and push the Devil further back
