He seems and looks like a cool guy. I really am holding out for him. If he is indeed dead, I do hope he is found anyway, that way his family can send him off as they so choose.

I can't imagine how it would feel to lose a family member like this.
Go snorkeling for an afternoon and simply never return. Too sad to even fully comprehend. RIP Norman Lee.

@Luminus
Sometimes, currents can pop up out of nowhere and just take you out.

RIP Norman.

@Luminus
It's quite rare. Usually, it'll only happen if you're not looking up every now and then to make sure you haven't drifted out too far, but on occasion, there is just a strong current that'll drag you some way off. Just stick closer to shore, it's far less dangerous.
