Brit tour guide, 24, dies while snorkelling on 50ft dive trip in front of horrified holidaymakers at beach in Indonesia
A BRIT tour guide has tragically died while snorkelling at a popular diving spot in Indonesia.
The young backpacker, 24, was reportedly working as a diving instructor when she and another person plunged from a 50ft cliff.
Members of the crew and other visitors rushed to the bottom to help the woman.
As they reached the shore, they found that the woman was still breathing.
But the Brit was tragically pronounced dead before reaching the nearby hospital.
Cops said the woman was part of a tour group of 10 when the incident happened.
A spokesman said: "At around 8:30 WITA, the group arrived at the first location, Gili Peteluan, for snorkelling.
"Then, at around 09:15 WITA, they continued to the second spot, Semangko Sea at Pink Beach, for more snorkelling activities.
"After they finished at the second location at around 11:15 WITA, one of her fellow snorkelling guides asked the guests to return to the boat for a lunch break.
"The two guides then went diving again to a depth of about 10 to 15 metres.
"When she was about to return to the surface of the sea, the victim's condition suddenly became unusual, so her friend guided her to the surface."
The police spokesman said the boat captain immediately headed for the Telong-Elong Pier, where an ambulance was waiting to take the woman to the hospital.
However, she tragically died less than an hour later.
Authorities said they were interrogating the crew and tourists present at the scene.
