Irwin was filming a scuba diving documentary from a Port Douglas charter boat with his own production company. The incident occurred while scuba diving at Bat Reef at Low Isles, off the Port Douglas holiday resort just north of Cairns, Queensland. A rescue diver brought him up and emergency first response was sought. An emergency helicopter was called but he was deceased.

To make this list, each of these diving destinations offers premium underwater visibility and, of course, a high probability of seeing magnificent sea life and vibrant reefs. But that's not all. They must ... feature plush accommodations, exotic locales or unparalleled above-water scenery. And while it would be easy to populate this list by focusing solely on the Caribbean, we've instead assembled a global panel of experts to assess the best winter scuba escapes -- from Costa Rica to Queensland. Think of these places as rehab for the winter doldrums.

Scuba diving is swimming underwater, or taking part in another activity, while using a scuba set. By carrying a source of breathing gas (usually compressed air), the scuba diver is able to stay underwater longer than with the simple breath-holding techniques used in snorkeling and free-diving, and is not hindered by air lines to a remote air source. The scuba diver typically swims underwater by using fins attached to the feet. However, some divers ... move around with the assistance of a DPV (diver propulsion vehicle), commonly called a "scooter", or by using surface-tethered devices called sleds pulled by a boat.
