I'm sorry to hear this and give my condolances to his family and friends.

Unfortunately, the article didn't give much information. A nurse that I work with pointed the article out to me.

I too, would be interested in more details given the fact that I was in Laguna this weekend in relatively calm conditions. Diver's Cove is pretty shallow, approximately '
32' at best and 42' at the most outer reef.

Well, the correct thing is for the rescuers to refrain from talking too much to the press,
and instead tell them that an investigation is underway.
The press too often misconveys any facts, which can harm the friends and family.

Having said that, I am always wanting to know more. It's inly human to want that.

We want to know the fact, once you know please give more article. thanks
