Jacksonville man dies in scuba diving accident
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Jacksonville man died during his second scuba diving lesson in Paisley, Florida, this weekend.

Family identified the man as David Ward, 30.

Details surrounding his death have not yet been released, but his mother said he accidentally drowned.

"I never wanted him to go scuba diving, but he is a jack of all trades," his mom, Sharon Ward, said. "But he loved life and enjoyed life and loved lots of stuff. And that was one of the things that he wanted to do because he loved life."

Ward was the youngest of six children.
