Any confirmation on 12/09/12 or 12/10/12 Cozumel diving fatality ?

I was just there (Cancun / Cozumel) in that timeframe and did not hear anything.

Oh, your probably wouldn't unless it was a guest at your hotel who died while you were there, and even then it'd be iffy. Such news would be bad for business, so most would never tell a tourist.

My yardstick is that if DandyDon did not start this thread, then it is probably untrue!

I just post what shows up on the news, and I still suspect that they avoid spreading such.

Here you go..It seems to have happened in Dominica.

Uh, same ocean - wrong week, wrong generation, wrong sport...

My father is on a two week back to back cruise that came to port to Cozumel on Tuesday, Dec. 10. While waiting in line to board the ship, a woman who had been on a dive tour mentioned that a 45 year old woman had died while on a scuba excursion. When he called me today while in port in Miami he mentioned this story. I told him that there is usually some some of report that is made and that I had not seen any such news. It all could very well be rumor.

You state that as if it were fact, but is it really anything beyond conjecture on your part?

I guess our definitions of probably, iffy, most are different.
