A diver has died last weekend at the 40 Fathom Grotto in Ocala, Florida. It appears from the news and what`s been said around town is that something happened during a training class. The reports are that a group went down to 150 ft. and were coming up doing stops every 15 feet. Rebecca Harden, 54, from Hickson, Tenn. apparently went missing and was found at 160 ft. The instructor brought her back to the surface, but, sadly, she did not survive.

The following news article has very little details:
