Visitor turns loss into love for Cayman

Life has a way, from time to time, of destroying our comfort zones and upending our plans.
On 16 May 2018, Roger Read, 66, received one of those painful reminders. After more than a decade frequenting Cayman’s warm waters with his wife, Philippa Thomas, a snorkelling trip turned to tragedy.
At 61, Thomas had never had problems in the water before. The couple had received their Open Water PADI certification with Don Foster’s Dive around 2007 and became regulars at Cayman’s popular dive spots.
The sunshine and warm waters offered an escape from life in East Sussex, England, and after Read’s early retirement, the couple of 28 years were able to spend more time travelling together.
While Thomas appeared to be in good health, she suffered from an undetected heart condition that would prove fatal. Thomas had snorkelled on the surface above the Kittiwake that day, and after she exited the water, she began feeling symptoms of fatigue and experienced trouble breathing.
On the ride home, Thomas succumbed to long-standing, chronic heart disease. Read the full story at www.caymancompass.com.
