Yeah, it's so sad. It's hit the cave diving community pretty hard. Ag worked in FL at Dive Rite for a while and so she had a lot of friends here in the US.

For those who didn't know her or know of her, Ag as a stunt double in the movie Sanctum and has been on the forefront of pushing tight leads in underwater caves.

Apparently the first articles were wrong on the amount of time it would take to find this young woman's body. The link here indicates that she's been found, sad to report.
