Yes, the guy was an instructor and the boat captain at a dive shop there in kona. He was diving with a friend fishing and went back for a dropped net somewhere around 200. he was 40 years old and neither the coast guard nor the local fire dept could locate the body. they have had a storm for the past two days (he was lost on friday) with heavy currents. they have decided not to look further. he had no tek training. dp On Sun, 17 Mar 1996, Anthony Montgomery wrote: > Late last night I heard on the news that another diver is dead after > trying to recover a net at around 200'.
