Probably know as much as you do.  Reports were sketchy. His name was
Robert Cupick and he was reportedly 60 yrs old.  Death was one of two
snorkel/dive incidents on the lake.  Here is what I clipped from the
press

Man dies scuba diving in Kempenfelt Bay

JOHNSON'S BEACH, Ontario (31 Aug 2006) -- A man drowned after a scuba
diving accident in Kempenfelt Bay. According to Barrie Police, the
tragedy may have resulted from the diver's unfamiliarity with both the
dive site and the scuba diving equipment he was using.
The victim was pulled ashore at Johnson's Beach by his dive buddy who
called for help and initiated CPR.
The Barrie Police and Georgian Ambulance paramedics responded to the
emergency and arrived at the scene of the accident at about 3:30pm. The
victim was rushed to Royal Victoria Hospital where he was pronounced
dead.
