Laurel Silver-Valker slid off the edge of a scuba tour boat called Sundiver Express and into the ocean off Santa Catalina Island at 9:35 on the morning of Dec. 29, according to a police report.
She was looking for lobsters in the underwater cliffs and crannies below Ship Rock, a popular dive site a few miles northeast of the island’s Two Harbors.
The 45-year-old mother of two from Tustin was a regular on Sundiver trips, even volunteering as a crew member for the Long Beach-based tour company so she could spend as much time as possible in the ocean she loves.
At first, the dive seemed to be going well. A Facebook post from Sundiver at 10:06 a.m. shows two photos of Ship Rock and this caption: “Gorgeous day and a full boat!”
A short time later, according to police, the Sundiver Express left the Ship Rock area.
