Boat mishap leads to death of a diver

This extract is from Danny Mok of the South China Morning Post, in the City Digest part of the paper.

A male expatriate was found dead in Sai Kung waters after disappearing from a diving trip on Saturday. The 26-year-old, whose first name was Matthew, hit his head on the dive boat at 4pm off High Island after drinking alcohol. Marine police found his body near Pak A at about 1pm yesterday.

Not much information there, but it sounds as though it wasn’t a diving related incident, but a tragic accident.
