Instructor, Technical Diver and partner in the dive operation Aquaticos at Recife, Brazil, Edisio Rocha died of a sudden heart attack (according to preliminary autopsy report) during a routine dive on Sunday 13th Sep. He was 50.
The site was a tug-boat sunk as an artificial reef in 2002.
He didn't return to the boat after the dive.

The group had 20 divers and 6 instructors including Edisio.
The search was started on the Sunday, suspended during the night and restarted on the Monday morning.
His body was found at 09:00, 50m from the wreck at a depth of 25m.

Edisio was a great guy, always smiling and willing to help. He was also a volunteer at an NGO, Fundação Arte de Viver.
I dove with him many times.
He will be missed.
