Sara Mason was exploring Smitty’s Cove, Alaska’s most popular scuba site, when she stopped breathing, police said.
Updated: November 9, 2022 Sara Mason caught a large king salmon in Petersburg in 2012. “If there were two places where her heart was just most at peace and happy, it was in the mountains and in the water. She just had a deep love for wild places,” Brian Mason , her husband, said Tuesday.
In interviews, friends and family described Mason as a remarkable person who loved adventuring with her family and was a devoted teacher and mother.“I know every parent loves their kids, but she deeply loved her kids, she deeply loved spending time with them,” Brian Mason said.“She raised our kids on the water and in the mountains and in tents and I mean, we’re both teachers, and there were some summers where we spent more time in tents than we did in our beds at home,” Brian Mason said.
Emily Craver, owner of Last Frontier Diving & Adventures in Anchorage, said Mason’s death was the first diving-related fatality in Whittier she knew of in her 18 years scuba diving in Alaska. As a teacher, Mason was creative, kind and patient, said her friend and fellow teacher at Fire Lake, Kara Freeborn.
