Mystery of diver killed on shipwreck AN experienced diver died during a week-long club expedition to explore deep sea wrecks off the Scottish coast, an inquest was told.
Accountant Hilary Lyon, 39, of Egerton, near Bolton, got into difficulties during a 40-metre dive to explore the wreck of a Second World War minelayer three miles off the coast of Orkney in July, 2004.
She was pronounced dead after attempts to revive her failed.
The Bolton inquest heard the exact cause of death remains a mystery but that diving was `inherently dangerous`.
Mother-of-one Hilary, a member of Bolton Sub-Aqua Club, had travelled to Malta, Australia, and Europe to dive over 14 years.
She was a fully trained advanced instructor and taught divers at Smithills High School in Bolton.
Experts said it was likely that she had problems with buoyancy during the ascent, had a seizure and rose to the surface while unconscious.
Seizure
A controlled ascent is necessary to avoid the build up of gases in the blood.
Martin Cooper, a former diving officer at the club, said divers would routinely switch to decompression gas at the 20-metre mark of an ascent. He said: "For some reason she lost buoyancy. She realised that she had.
"She inadvertently descended, realised what had happened and tried to reverse it, but suffered an oxygen seizure."
Dr James Francis, a diving expert, said: "It is highly likely that she sustained a gas embolism to her brain. She would not have known anything at all from the moment of her seizure."
Hilary, who has a teenage son, had dived for 15 minutes with club members Adrian Bodie and Bill Rawson on the day.
Both said she appeared to be fine and showed no signs of distress during the dive, the group`s ninth of the week.
Mr Bodie said: "I did not really have any real cause for concern."
Coroner Jennifer Leeming recorded a verdict of accidental death and described Hilary as an `intelligent, highly-trained woman`.
Mrs Leeming said: "She died as a result of her pleasure and joy. We do not know exactly why but we have explored what happened and we have gone as far as we can."
After the inquest, Hilary`s brother-in-law Dr Mark Hall said: "As a family we take comfort from knowing that Hilary died doing something that she loved."
