Scott Ray Smith

We believe that Scott died as a result of shallow water blackout on February 22, 2017 at the edge of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve near the small Mayan fishing village of Punta Allen, Quintana Roo, Mexico - a place he loved more than anywhere in the world, doing what he loved most.

On July 9th 2016 just ten days from marrying the love of his life Lindsey, Papa had a fatal diving accident which was the result of shallow water blackout. Our entire family is devastated and we continue to ask ourselves how this could of happened when papa was such a skilled swimmer/diver/spearman.
