Malaysian diver dies in Bali after strong current separates group
A 40-year-old Malaysian woman, Siti Nuraini Binti Rusidi, died during a recreational scuba-diving trip off Nusa Penida, Bali, on September 16. She had joined a group boat excursion and was staying at Dive Concepts Lembongan in Jungutbatu Village on Nusa Lembongan. Before her first dive at Manta Bay, she experienced coughing spells but affirmed her fitness to dive. At the second dive site, Crystal Bay, a strong current rapidly deteriorated conditions, sweeping three divers away from the main group. Siti Nuraini was instructed to stay in place while the dive guide located the separated divers. She was later found unresponsive. Witnesses reported she showed signs of panic and removed her regulator mouthpiece, with a guide offering his octopus and assisting her ascent. Back on the dive boat, she had a slight pulse but was foaming at the mouth and nose. Staff from Nusa Medika Clinic intercepted the transfer to medical facilities at Lembongan, but she was pronounced dead en route. Klungkung district law enforcement and regional maritime police are investigating the incident, and an official cause of death awaits post-mortem results.
