Another theory is that the man struck rocks or the side of the natural pool, resulting in physical trauma that left him unconscious or prevented him from swimming to the surface.
He could also have died due to the natural pool being “aerated,” which occurs when water is mixed with air. The air bubbles decrease the water’s buoyancy, making it harder for a person to stay afloat.
In May 2013, acclaimed photographer Jacob Cockle died in the sea after getting sucked into a whirlpool in a harbor in Cornwall, England.
Cockle, who won awards for his sea photography from National Geographic, wanted to capture what the inside of a whirlpool would look like from his GoPro camera.
He dove down into the sea to get an underwater shot, but the current was too strong. His friend found him floating in the water, facing down.
Weeks before his death, the 28-year-old had won a £28,000 ($36,650) expedition to Antarctica, which was one of his dreams.

Last August, three tourists from Utah, USA, drowned when two tried to rescue the third from a whirlpool in California.
The victims, identified as David Bell, Jeannine Skinner, and Peter On, were sucked into the whirlpool while canyoneering with a group along the Kern River.
Though rescuers were able to get their bodies out in seven minutes and did CPR on them immediately, they were not able to revive any of them.
