A very sad incident here in Saipan a brief description can be found July 10 edition of Saipan tribune http://www.tribune.co.mp.
Saturday July 6, one day after typhoon Chataan passed a group of divers, including five instructors decided to go on a dive at our Grotto site (a very beautifull dive). One of the tourists never made it back into the Grotto, the fiver instructors changed tanks and set out to try to find him only three made it back at which point the police were contacted. The helicopter found the two instructors (they ran out of air), the tourist was found with his BC inflated and 900psi of air in the tank. He was 34 years old, it is still not known what exactly happened. One of our long time resident divers probably had the best explanation, respect nature, five dive instructors will not make post typhoon conditions safe.
