A man reportedly died while scuba diving off Dubai's Jumeirah Beach.
Indian Issac Paul Olakkengil, aged 29, lost his life while participating in beginner-level scuba diving sessions.
According to reports, Ollakengil started encountering breathing difficulties during the session, which led to a fatal cardiac arrest.
Ollakengil and other students were undergoing training on Friday when he first started experiencing breathing difficulties. As his condition worsened, he began drifting away from the group, prompting immediate reactions from those around him.
He was quickly pulled out of the water and rushed to a nearby hospital, but despite efforts to revive him, he passed away.
The deceased's family is now working with the authorities to manage the rest of the legal procedures and repatriate his body to India.
