Turner, Sue | 21 | Not recorded | Not recorded | Not recorded |
On December 23, six people were scuba diving near the Blow Hole on the coast of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands. Sue Turner (21) apparently became separated from her companions and entered a cave. She was later missed and a search was instituted. At 3:30 p.m. a helicopter crew found her scuba tank, regulator and buoyancy vest floating off cliffs below the Makapuu Lighthouse. About two hours later her body was found, 60 feet below the surface on a ledge in the cave, about a half-mile from where her gear was discovered. She still had her weight belt on.
Too little information. From what is given here, it almost sounds like foul play. Why would the last piece of equipment discarded in the midst of drowning be the weight belt? Why, indeed?
Scuba diver Sue Turner became separated from group, entered a cave, and was found deceased with equipment discarded nearby.
