Fourth diver dies in just 8 days. 

Man this makes me want to join a new hobby, NOT!

People keep getting in dangerous water and some aren't in shape and are going to have a heart attack the next time they go anaerobic. Every year the same stuff happens. It's not a dangerous sport. Some folks are just stupid and for the others, the maker is calling anyway.

Very sad...

RIP.

Sincerely,

Jim

It's still sad for sure. Very sad.

It's still sad for sure. Very sad.

Agreed

RIP!

A buddy of mine knew him. He said that he had a triple bypass a few years ago. Genetics suck sometimes. Very sad that we all think we're 18years old and invincible our whole lives. RIP.

Thanks,

I never understand why people get into nasty water. Abalone isn't worth my life, I don't even like the way they taste. Sad to hear people losing there life over them.

Somebody posted the divers story on coastside. From what I recall, dr. gave him clearance and this was his first trip back in the water after rehabbing from heart surgery.  I can't fault him in the slightest, after rehabbing from injuries and surgery the first thing I tend to do is return to whatever put me down in the first place. Its hard to deny the things we love, especially after going through a period where we cannot have them.   I'd likely have dove as soon as I got the green light also. 

RIP Diver. 

   

Sad news.
From what I understand he made it back to shore and died of complications due to a previous condition.

I hope these deaths lately don't deter anyone from trying the sport. It's not dangerous if you follow good practices.

For me if its my time to go I rather go to the next realm doing something I love rather than sitting In front of tv or something like that.

RIP bro

My father in law had a buddy who was cleared by Kaiser to travel after having his heart checked out. All good right? He had a heart attack in the parking lot on the way to his car after the test. When its time................ its time. I hope that death is that kind to me. Seeing the ocean after being in it then going. Cant think of a better way to go. Peace.
