Abstract: We report a case of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest occurred in a 61-year-old recreational female diver. After resuscitation, the patient was referred to the hospital. With data provided by witnesses and appropriate medical investigations, drowning related to a failed rebreather system was the most plausible explanation. Patient outcome was favorable.<br />Competing Interests: MI is an Associate Editor for Clinical Case Reports. All the other authors declare no conflicts of interest.<br /> (© 2022 The Authors.
