A 52-year-old Winnipeg man drowned Sunday afternoon while scuba diving at West Hawk Lake in Whiteshell Provincial Park, RCMP say.
The man was diving with a companion at a popular dive site at about 1 p.m. when he apparently encountered difficulties and became disoriented.
When he submerged after briefly resurfacing other divers in the area joined in to rescue him. He was found several minutes later under the water.
Attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
The man's name is being withheld until his family are notified.
