SE>I heard of another diver death this past weekend in the
SE>Boynton Beach, FL area.  The diver was in his mid-40's,
SE>diving with a buddy from a commercial dive boat on a reef
SE>at a depth of about 50 feet.  The diver got separated from
SE>his buddy and the body was eventually recovered in 70 feet
SE>with no air in his tank.  Preliminary cause of death is listed
SE>as a heart attack.
Sounds right.  If a fellow is out of air, the stress and lack of O2 in
the heart muscle will greatly increase any minor heart problem to
greatly manifest itself.
