Ilya and Sophia Tsaruk, a couple from Snohomish County, drowned while snorkeling in Maui, leaving behind their 18-month-old son and an unborn daughter. The incident occurred at the Ahihi-Kinau Natural Area Reserve when emergency responders were called to assist after reports of snorkelers in distress. Family members reported that Sophia, who was pregnant, was found unresponsive and efforts to revive both her and Ilya were unsuccessful. Concerns have been raised about snorkeling safety, particularly regarding full-face masks, which might contribute to panic and distress underwater. The couple was remembered for their strong faith and commitment to their church, where they sang in the choir. A GoFundMe page has been established to support their family, raising over $126,000 in response to this tragic loss.
