Have to say that:

1) a lot of the pools on the island (Inc this one, have specialised "deep ends” for SCUBA training and are not always adequately signed.

2)The approach to the deep end is a tiled incline usually from waist depth to about 1.8- 2m.

3) It is very easy for the unwary to move out of their depth and into difficulties

4) Alcohol consumption is a big factor here

5) Where the couple capable swimmers?

6)Plausible that during a pandemic low occupancy period  

a) pool area and grounds were not adequately patrolled or monitored

b)non-diving guests were appraised of the hazards

c) warning signs/barriers were not present or inadequate for the scenario.
