The tragedy of drowning from diving occurred in Dongpingzhou last night!

At about 10 pm yesterday (28th), a couple and 3 friends chartered a boat to Dong Ping Chau for "Hookah Diving". During this period, their 47-year-old husband suddenly disappeared. The friend immediately called the police and searched the surrounding area. The victim was found unconscious in the seabed, and was rescued ashore by the Government Flying Service helicopter to the hospital, but he died.


The deceased, Que Wenyuan (47), went to Dongpingzhou with his wife and 3 friends with the surname Chen (32) yesterday afternoon. After meeting with a local villager who was familiar with each other, he took a boat to dive on the shore of Longluo Shui and reportedly carried out "shisha diving". During the event, at about 10 p.m., the villager returned by boat to pick them up, only to find that Que was missing. His colleagues were worried that he had an accident and called the police and looked around.

Later, they found the victim unconscious in the seabed and quickly rescued him ashore. Marine police and firefighters arrived at the scene and found that the victim was still breathing and pulsed. He was rushed to the Eastern District Hospital by helicopter, but the rescue was ineffective.

Que's wife was distraught and said that her husband had no illness and pain during his lifetime and had two years of diving experience. She was shocked by the accident.

The police were present at the scene to investigate and initially found that there was no suspiciousness, and the cause of death has yet to be determined by an autopsy.

"Hookah Diving" refers to a gas pipe that directly supplies air to the diver. The advantage is that the diving time is not limited by the amount of air in the cylinder, and it can dive for a long time in 30-foot deep water.

The original meaning of (Hookah) is the Chinese "water pipe". It is named because it is like a water pipe, because it is a dilemma to breathe well, and it is difficult to breathe badly.
