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.
