In the first moment the situation looked even more dangerous, as the notified rescue services were informed of the possible danger to the 3 other divers. However, when the rescue team arrived on site, it turned out that the rest of the diving team had not been injured in the incident.

The circumstances of the accident are not known, but according to Spanish media and internet forums, the cause of death may have been an accident with the CCR, at around 65m, when the diver began to convulse. The case will be investigated by the authorities to clarify exactly what happened during the dive.

Jordi Mateo was a very experienced Spanish technical and rebreather diver. Among both his students and his instructors, he had a reputation as a very careful diver who placed great importance on safety.

As a TDI instructor, he was the leading figure in terms of trained divers in the Iberian Peninsula. He was a great Reb enthusiast. Ever since he came into contact with CCR in 1997 he became fascinated by this technology and had many different rebreather models in his collection. One day he planned to create a museum dedicated to closed circuit diving. In Spain he was a leading instructor and promoter of CCR technology.

He trained and lived with passion and this is the image he left in the memory of his loved ones and people he met on his diving path. Rest in peace.
