Edmonton man dies in B.C. scuba-diving incident
A 52-year-old Edmonton man died July 20 in a scuba-diving incident in the ocean near Nanoose Bay on the east side of Vancouver Island, the British Columbia Coroners Service said Monday.
Martin Keith Bishop had been visiting the region on a family vacation when he went on a scuba-diving expedition with a dive-master and one other person, the coroners service said in a news release.
The three divers entered the water at a well-known diving spot in Nanoose Bay.
“During the dive, something went wrong and Mr. Bishop was deceased at the scene,” the news release said.
The coroners service and the RCMP continue to investigate the death.
