## Resource

This episode recounts the tragic death of Sofía Devries, a young diver who disappeared during a training excursion at a shipwreck in Puerto Madryn, Argentina. Following the recovery of her body, her instructor, Thiago Nahuel Pocovi, faced legal charges of gross negligence manslaughter for allegedly failing to uphold safety standards. Investigations suggest the dive proceeded despite critically poor visibility, leading to a fatal separation when the victim experienced panic and buoyancy issues. The incident has sparked a global conversation regarding instructor accountability and the life-threatening risks of ignoring scuba diving protocols. Ultimately, the report serves as a somber examination of how human error and environmental factors can turn a routine certification process into a legal and personal catastrophe.
