FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (7 Dec 2005) -- Police are investigating the diving death of a professional scuba instructor on Thanksgiving Day off Hallandale Beach.
Zak Jones, 30, who was diving with six colleagues from Fort Lauderdale`s Pro Dive International on the Pro Diver II, was pronounced dead on arrival at Aventura Hospital.
Jones had been on what company CEO Frank Gernert described as a ``staff technical dive.``
According to U.S. Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Chris O`Neil, Jones and a dive buddy were 150 feet deep, each equipped with three scuba tanks, when they separated to explore a reef.
`After a few minutes, Mr. Jones` dive partner turned and found Mr. Jones struggling as if he were entangled in his tank lines,`` O`Neil said, quoting from a Coast Guard incident report. ``When the dive partner reached Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones was unconscious with the regulator out of his mouth.``
Jones` buddy dumped the air out of Jones` buoyancy-compensation vest, sending him quickly to the surface, according to O`Neil. The buddy ascended slower because of the depth they were diving, which is beyond the recreational limit of 130 feet.
At the surface, the buddy administered CPR and flagged down the dive boat. The unconscious Jones was lifted aboard, where the crew continued CPR and radioed the Coast Guard at 10:35 a.m.
According to O`Neil, two Coast Guard vessels were on the scene within 15 minutes, and one of them brought Jones to Haulover Marina, where he was picked up by Miami-Dade paramedics. The paramedics took Jones to Aventura Hospital.
A Miami-Dade police spokesman said the death remains unclassified, pending results of tests by the medical examiner`s office.

Fatal dive: company puts record straight
A top professional scuba instructor has died off Fort Lauderdale in
the USA - and some reported facts about the incident need correcting,
the diver`s employer has said.
Zak Jones, 30, a PADI Course Director with Fort Lauderdale`s Pro Dive
International, was leisure diving with other staff members from the
company`s dive boat, Pro Diver II.
He lost consciousness after descending with a buddy, was sent to the
surface and recovered aboard the boat. He was transferred by a US
Coast Guard vessel ashore, where he was taken to hospital. Despite
the efforts of paramedics, he could not be saved.
Based on Coast Guard information, US web media has reported that the
divers were "each equipped with three scuba tanks", which implies the
use of open-circuit scuba. But Frank Gernert, Pro Dive International
CEO, has told Divernet that Jones "was using a closed-circuit
rebreather, and the only diver using such".
The Coast Guard is reported to have said that, a few minutes after
the divers separated at a depth of 46m to explore a reef, "Mr Jones`
dive partner turned and found Mr Jones struggling as if he were
entangled in his tank lines". When the buddy reached Jones, he was
"unconscious with the regulator out of his mouth".
Gernert has confirmed that "Zak went into unconsciousness at depth
and never recovered". But, regarding what the buddy saw, he told
Divernet: "Zak was never noticed struggling or in any distressful
manner. However, after he presumably lost consciousness, he descended
approximately 47ft (14m) and became entangled in material unrelated
to his life support or actual scuba gear."
Other reported details of the incident are not disputed. The buddy is
reported to have set Jones to ascend quickly, following more slowly
to avoid decompression illness. He administered first aid upon
rejoining Jones at the surface, until Jones could be recovered
aboard. CPR continued on the dive boat until the rescue services
arrived within 15 minutes.
A police investigation is being conducted into the incident.
Zak Jones was a popular figure in Fort Lauderdale`s sports scuba
scene, and was a highly respected technical diver. In addition to his
PADI course directorship, he was qualified at instructor trainer
level for trimix and rebreather diving.
At the time of his death, Jones was using his rebreather, a
Megalodon, in a private capacity. Pro Dive International does not
offer rebreather training or diving.
The company has, via its website, set up a fund for donations in
support of Jones` widow, Robyn.
