The first one were two experienced Danish divers on vacation in southern Norway diving the wreck Seattle. The boat they used called for help when they didn't surface at agreed upon time. The area around and inside was searched with a ROV, but they were not found so the search stopped a week later.

The last incident is still under investigation and I don't think much facts have been released about the spesifics. A diving club in the city Sarpsborg yearly did some "voluntary work" in the lake Tunevannet. A very experienced diver who had done this work the last couple of years got stuck under water when inspecting the "water intake" of a factory. When they got him up he had been out of air for a while and first aid didn't help. It was reported to have been under ice and solo.

I think the last death before these two incidents was in May. A diver on a rebreather outside Bergen on the west coast.

thanks for the info. what happened in the rebreather incident?

 

[ameneon]

Three divers surfaced after collecting scallops. One decided to go down again. Suposedly despite the rebreather saying not to dive anymore because of the filter. When he hadn't surfaced after an hour a rescue helicopter was alerted and they found him dead in 12 feet of water.
