Lost my instructor today...

[andyjeffries]

Found out this morning that my instructor (I've trained with him for over 20 years) died this weekend in a scuba diving incident. Words can't express how devastated I am. I've had the unenviable job of phoning round and telling all the other students as the family got in touch with me and it's broken my heart with every person I've had to tell.

A very hard and sad day...

RIP Master Carl Lees, there's a lot of people in the UK who will never forget you!

As my fellows have expressed above, such a sad event is hard to deal with, especially so when it is your good self that has to be the messenger to carry the news to the other students. My sympathies go out to everyone touched by the loss of your teacher.

Thanks for all the love guys! It's been a really hard hard day, I'm emotionally exhausted.

The love I've felt from my Taekwondo family (my local Taekwondo family and my remote/extended Taekwondo family online) has been nothing short of inspiring though.

Thank you all so much.

Our condolences to his family and students.
As a diver and EMS geek, can I ask if you know what happened?
