Can anyone confirm that a diver is missing from diving off Capt Don's dock this past Sunday? I just learned about this from reading someone's message from Rodale's message board. Thanks.

I was staying at Cap. Dons Last week. The diver
was a guest at Don's but he was missing from a shore dive up at the Marina. He was diving alone and was a novice diver. The Divemasters from Don's and other resorts searched the dive site for 3 days to a depth of 250 feet and found nothing. This is a trajic case not enough experience and poor judgement. We were all sad for the loss.

The details aren't quite correct.

There is a missing diver, who was quite inexperienced (less than 20 dives, including all his certification dives), and decided to do a solo dive at the Something Special dive site on Sunday, December 10th, while his girlfriend was on shore. He never came back, and many days of searches by local dive operators, various marine agencies and helicopter failed to locate any trace of him. He was from Holland, and he was staying at Habitat.

Definitely a tragic loss.

Is this the 1st this year?

This is the first loss of a diver that I'm aware of in 2000.
