A 38-year-old man died this Saturday while snorkeling with two relatives in Landéda (Finistère) off the Sainte-Marguerite peninsula, according to several local newspapers including The Telegram. The circumstances of the accident remain to be determined.

Alerted around 4:20 p.m., the rescuers of the Regional Operational Center for Surveillance and Rescue (CROSS) Corsen, very quickly mobilized a speedboat, a light boat, a land vehicle and a helicopter on the spot, according to a press release from the maritime prefecture of the Atlantic.

Rescuers then came to the aid of the victim and one of his relatives, in difficulty on a rock. A third diver would have returned to the shore by his own means according to Le Télégramme. The victim, in cardiopulmonary arrest, could not be revived by the emergency services. He was pronounced dead at 5:20 p.m. The days of the other divers are not in danger, according to our colleagues, who indicate that one of them was taken in shock to the Cavale Blanche hospital in Brest.
