Re: Another Freediver lost!

This is just awful to hear. One of the most genuine guys on the board. He deflected criticism often with absolute class and would always try to help anyone. I didn't know him but appreciated his sincerity greatly. This is a huge loss for our community and unimaginably more for his wife and kid.

Thanks for everything OC. You will be missed.

Horrible news and a good reminder that we can NEVER be too careful on our sport!

All the best to his family.

Re: Another Freediver lost!

Absolutely heartbreaking. I always enjoyed interacting with him. I can't believe this. He just posted a list of free diver safety rules a little while ago that was just excellent.

Im curious to what the heck happened. Because he seemed very safe and knowledgeable and heard he was a good diver. I wonder if a underwater heartattack? Got caught on a rock? I just cant stop thinking if it was me what could make me not come back up unless sob and my buddy wasnt their. Anyways once again rip and prayers go out to family.
