Krugersdorp scuba diver dies in KwaZulu-Natal

The man reportedly stopped breathing and cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was performed.

A 65-year-old Krugersdorp man has allegedly died from scuba diving related difficulties on KwaZulu-Natal’s South Coast.

According to Times Live, the man was on a boat when the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) at Shelley Beach received a distress call from the dive charter boat.

The incident occurred yesterday, 27 December and the man was allegedly on holiday with his family. It was also reported that he was an experienced diver.

The man reportedly stopped breathing and cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was performed.

The NSRI, ambulance services as well as local police were on shore to help assist with advanced life-support once the dive boat hit the shore.

Sadly they could not revive the man and he was declared dead.

The identity of the man is not known to the News, but once more information becomes available, a follow-up will be published.
