Another diving fatality in Crystal Bay

Another foreign diver has died following a dive in Crystal Bay, Nusa Penida, Klungkung regency, Bali, on Tuesday, a day after a Japanese tourist was found dead in the same area, police have reported.

A Danish businessman, Hendrik Kent Jensen, 43, did not resurface after about an hour of a dive with his two friends, identified as Susana and Thillo.

According to Nusa Penida precinct commander Comr. I Wayan Sarjana, Jensen was found by his friends on the seabed after he had apparently passed out.

According to witnesses, Jensen was an advanced diver.

The police have yet to determine the cause of Jensen’s death.
