According to media reports, Ms Wu had been concerned about the danger of diving, but her husband had been insistent. After not diving for more than a year, and having invested in the scuba diving equipment, Mr Wu considered it a waste of money not to put it to use.

Tragic...

With these reports, I simply cannot believe the diver ran out of air.

He might have had a free flow, or leak, that led to an emergency situation from which he could not recover. But I cannot believe that they just run down the air clock like Sonic the hedgehog in an underwater level and then drown.

I can also imagine the regulator simply freeflowing, after the unconcious or heart attack-stricken diver hits the ground.
