Loic was a five time world record holder, a talented filmmaker, but also a friend. This tragic accident, according to to Vcomk, loic’s agent was due to a “failing counter weight system”. Cedric Palerme a freediving instructor from the CIPA in Nice, who was on the boat during the accident declared to AFP:” something got entangled in the rope, I am not sure what it was.”
Deeperblue will continue to investigate the accident, in the meantime, I and the whole team at DB would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Loic’s wife and kids.
