We were on our way home from Catalina Wed. afternoon when we heard the Vanguard (Island Packers boat)reporting to the Coast Guard that they had a scuba diver on board that had been diving at Anacapa and had fallen from a ladder on his way out of the water.

It sounds like Bob had been diving at Landing Cove from the dock and the Vanguard (not a dive boat) got him on their boat after the fall. The Vanguard was heading out into the channel for a Helo pick up but not sure what transpired next due to weak radio reception.

I didn't know Bob but had heard his name many times...my condolences to his friend and family.
