Pamela Davies, 58, Dies While Snorkelling in the Maldives During a 30th Wedding Anniversary Holiday
Pamela Davies, a British parent of two from the Tenby area of Pembrokeshire, South Wales, died on November 1, 2026, while snorkelling near a hotel in the Maldives.
Pamela and spouse Martin Davies had travelled there to celebrate 30 years of marriage, with an anniversary celebration planned for November 5, four days after Pamela’s death.
Pamela was swimming with turtles, fulfilling a lifelong wish, when the incident occurred close to the beach.
Martin described calm conditions, though the precise medical cause of death has not been established, and an inquest is expected to open in the United Kingdom.
Pamela previously worked at the Tenby tourist information centre and in the advertising department of The Tenby Observer, and took part in the local agricultural and horse community.
Family, friends and former colleagues have shared warm tributes, while Martin and sons Lloyd and Morgan have thanked their community for its support.
The British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is supporting the family and liaising with Maldivian authorities.
