Teen's diving partner recounts boating tragedy Honolulu Advertiser
And, Keahihoku Lum of Kalihi was a stickler for diving safe keeping, his diving companions and those who introduced him to the sport said.
Those who loved and dived with Lum were shocked by initial hearsay reports that suggested he and two fellow divers were in the channel near the bridge on Kalaniana'ole Highway that spans the direct entrance to Koko Marina when they were run over.
Kiana Onishi, who was with Lum when he made his first free dive off Laniakea on O'ahu's North Shore a year and a half ago, said she spoke with Lum's diving companion who was injured in the same incident and got the following account from him:
All three entered the water from a right-of-way makai of the "China Walls" extent on Portlock Point. Each of the divers had a "diver down" flag attached to a float they towed behind them.
They were diving 100 to 200 yards off the shoreline when one of the numerous' speargun shafts got stuck in the rocks or coral on the bottom.
He surfaced to tell Lum and the other diver about all the fish he had seen in that mess eruptions and told them to swim a short distance to where he was and to dive down in the same area.
