Japanese tourist dies scuba diving in Australia CAIRNS, Australia (20 Nov 2005) -- Police are investigating the scuba diving death of a Japanese tourist who died on a guided boat diving trip to Hastings Reef off Cairns.
Witnesses told CDNN the victim was found unconscious at the surface while snorkeling after the dive.
Boat crew pulled the diver out of the water and tried in vain to revive him with CPR.
Paramedics who arrived in a helicopter also failed to revive the victim.
Col McKenzie of the infamous Dive Queensland marketing group said the tourist was an experienced diver who probably suffered a heart attack.
Several years ago, McKenzie attempted to cover up a dive boat accident by claiming that American tourists Tom and Eileen Lonergan faked their own deaths.
In fact, the Longergans died after they were left at sea by a boat crew that failed to notice they were missing for two days.
The recent move "Open Water" was based on the accident.
