Night diver dies off Tseung Kwan O

According to the SCMP a 44 year old diver died while doing a night dive to catch fish with friends off Tseung Kwan O industrial estate on Monday night. Contrary to an initial report that I was told about yesterday he was not a commercial diver.

Apparently he went into the water around 22:00 and his friends called the police at 00:33 when they could not find him. He was found about an hour later floating 50 metres from the waterfront, but was certified dead on arrival at Tseung Kwan O hospital. He was described as a licensed diver who had dived in the area before.  It was not clear whether he was diving with a buddy, and if so how they became separated.
