Not sure if this is the same incident, but I was diving off fossil ledge with a different NC charter later that week. The boat left with only 8 divers, really unusual since it is a long trip and they need a full boat to justify the gas. I noticed a group "Fin Addicts" on the roster, and none had shown up. The captain told me that one of their group had had an accident earlier that week, and none of them ever wanted to dive again - a whole group walked away from a $140 dive. When I took my tanks to the shop late that afternoon I overheard the owner confirming the story, and adding that the man had died. I must say that if I ever sit on a boat watching someone get CPR I may never dive again, myself. As a diver it does help to know it was a heart attack - could have happened in the mall or anywhere, but it is also a good reminder of how dangerous a sport it really is.
