Maybe all you guys over 40 should just give up diving.  There seems to be a
much higher rate of heart problems in the 40-50 age group of divers than in
the rest of the general population.  I've also notice that for some reason
those diving with rebreathers contained in yellow plastic housings seem to
have an even higher rate than just plain divers.  Glad I've got a few years
left before I hit that age mark and have to give it up.

Rumour Control:  Local divers give the same story as the news reports, but
also suggest that Peter's kit (CIS Lunar?) was checked and found to be OK.
I
understand that the kit is at Plymouth with Dave Crockford.

Guesses are that cause of death was a heart attack.

End rumour control.
