Hardick’s wife, Kay, said that her husband had not been feeling well recently, however, they did not think his condition was serious.
The Marine Safety Office, a division of the U.S. Coast Guard is also investigating the accident and has reported that Hardick’s scuba diving equipment was functioning properly.
