A scuba diver who was found dead near Race Rocks on Aug. 23 has been identified as a British army veteran from London, England.
Man (Timothy) Chu, 28, who is a police officer in the U.K., was vacationing in the Victoria-area earlier in the summer.
On July 5 he went on a charter dive at Race Rocks, a marine ecological reserve near the eastern end of Juan de Fuca Strait.
He became separated from the divemaster just before noon, and failed to surface. A massive search at the time failed to find any trace of Chu.
His body was spotted on Aug. 23 by a fisherman.
The BC Coroners Service says foul play is not suspected in Chu’s death.
