On October 22, 2003, newlyweds Gabe and Tina Watson signed up for a diving excursion in the Coral Sea, located off the coast of Australia. Tina was a novice diver who qualified for the trip after 11 dives, while Gabe was an expert rescue diver with 55 dives under his belt. The couple prepped their gear and planned their decent, then made their way down to the shipwrecked SS Yongala, a 350=foot ship that sunk off the Coral Sea in 2001, It is not clear what happened next, but within the first hour of diving, Tina drowned. Based on numerous accounts from eyewitnesses and Gabe himself, it is not clear if any wrongdoing occurred. Be sure to tune in and decide for yourself if this was an accident, or something more sinister.
