Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was diving for sea urchins during weather that caused 7 to 8 ft swells (waves). When Employee #1 surfaced, he was separated from his catch, a bag of sea urchins. He disconnected his air line to swim after his catch. Because of the rough waters, Employee #1 could not retrieve his catch, so he swam back, caught his air line, then started to pull his way back to the boat. Employee #1 disappeared behind a wave. When the people in the boat saw Employee #1 again, he had let go of the air line and was floating, face up, in the water. Employee #1 drowned.
