Abstract: Drowning isn’t the only danger in water - some aquatic animals can be deadly. The scuba diver who dies underwater poses a difficult diagnostic dilemma for investigating authorities and pathologists. Barotrauma caused by the failure of a gasfilled body cavity to equalize its internal pressure with changes in the ambient pressure is another cause of death. Investigation should be thorough and follow a standardized outline. This investigation should include the victim’s past medical and social history, dive profile, a detailed history of the terminal event and resuscitation efforts, environmental conditions, examination of the diving equipment and finally the autopsy.
