This wasn't a case of the diver accidentally getting too close to fishermen who were dynamiting, they threw dynamite at him deliberately because they "thought he was a large fish."

One of the fishermen tossed dynamite into the water and after it exploded the group jumped into the water but instead of finding a fish, they found the body of the dead diver.

I have no words for this.

Arrested!! That is a light punishment. I've heard of hangings, for just dynamite fishing alone.

I have been in the water when dynamite was used. Fortunately it was a good distance away; still it was scary.

Batangas, in the Philippines. Northern Papua New Guinea. It does not sound like an explosion, more like a big cracking sound. But I was almost a mile away.
