This is where I conduct my OW instruction, although I was not there this past weekend.

Looks like the woman may have expired from a non-diving related condition (heart attack), since her computer only indicated a max depth of 6' and she still had an essentially full cylinder.

News Report

GIBSONBURG, Ohio (13abc Action News) -  Leaders at White Star Park Quarry in Gibsonburg say they see minor diving accidents every year.

On Sunday, one diver was rushed to a Toledo hospital after running low on oxygen and getting water in her lungs. The incident comes a day after another diver lost their life in the quarry's waters.

Alyssa Tramont says she was wrapping up a lesson at the quarry Saturday when she saw emergency crews responding to a body in the water.

"It was a very sobering reminder that it can be dangerous," said Tramont.

Quarry leaders say they were notified of a diver floating unresponsive in the waters just before 2:00 Saturday afternoon.

A fellow diver pulled the victim, 58-year-old Mary Wolf of Powell, Ohio, ashore and began CPR. First responders later pronounced Wolf dead at the scene.

There's a thread over at ScubaBoard about it. One of the posters said that she did not look well before she went into the water. Real shame.

I had no idea they had opened a park there.  My mom and her siblings grew up in Gibsonburg, and they went swimming and diving in those quarries in the 1950s.  Sad news.
