According to the other diver Ron Long, they were in about 12 feet of water off Galleons Ranch, about 5.5 miles north of Stewarts Point when Baer became entangled and couldn’t reach the surface. Baer was an experienced diver and surfer who lived in Scottsdale, Az. I am not sure why the other divers were unable to assist Baer or if there were other circumstances, such as a medical condition or equipment malfunction which caused his death. The investigation is continuing.
