Malaysian who died in Bali had 50-plus dives, was rescue diver
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian scuba diver who died after encountering strong currents at Crystal Bay, Bali, Indonesia, yesterday had logged more than 50 dives and held a Rescue Diver certification.
A Malaysian scuba diver, Siti Nuraini Rusidi, 40, lost her life in Bali after facing strong currents during a dive at Crystal Bay. The experienced diver, who had logged over 50 dives and held a Rescue Diver certification, was in good health and cheerful before embarking on the dive. Firdaus, a friend accompanying her, recounted that they became separated due to the strong currents and the large number of divers in the area.
Siti was found struggling to breathe when she resurfaced, with foam coming from her mouth and nose. Despite immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from boat crew members and fellow divers, she was pronounced dead upon arrival at a nearby clinic. The Malaysian Embassy is aware of the incident, and her remains are expected to be repatriated within three to five working days after a post-mortem and police investigation.
