Members of the crew and other visitors rushed to the bottom to help the woman.
As they reached the shore, they found that the woman was still breathing.
But the Brit was tragically pronounced dead before reaching the nearby hospital.
Cops said the woman was part of a tour group of 10 when the incident happened.
A spokesman said: "At around 8:30 WITA, the group arrived at the first location, Gili Peteluan, for snorkelling.
"Then, at around 09:15 WITA, they continued to the second spot, Semangko Sea at Pink Beach, for more snorkelling activities.
"After they finished at the second location at around 11:15 WITA, one of her fellow snorkelling guides asked the guests to return to the boat for a lunch break.
"The two guides then went diving again to a depth of about 10 to 15 metres.

"When she was about to return to the surface of the sea, the victim's condition suddenly became unusual, so her friend guided her to the surface."
The police spokesman said the boat captain immediately headed for the Telong-Elong Pier, where an ambulance was waiting to take the woman to the hospital.
However, she tragically died less than an hour later.
Authorities said they were interrogating the crew and tourists present at the scene.

Ghislaine Maxwell moved from federal jail to minimum-security prison camp
GHISLAINE MAXWELL, THE longtime associate and former girlfriend of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been moved from a federal prison in Florida to a minimum-security prison in Texas following a meeting she had with a high-ranking US Department of Justice official. The US Bureau of Prisons said that 'Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas', without giving a reason for the transfer. The story was first reported by the New York Sun . Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sexually exploiting and abusing teenage girls, had been interviewed over the course of two days by Todd Blanche, the second-highest ranking official in the Department of Justice, and one of President Donald Trump's former lawyers. Advertisement Maxwell's transfer is the latest development in a now weeks-long period of intense pressure being put on Trump about his attorney general's reneging on a promise to release documents related to the case against Epstein, often called the 'Epstein files'. Epstein died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while he was awaiting trial for sex trafficking offences. A medical examiner ruled his death a suicide. The Trump administrations U-turn on the president's campaign promise to release the files has been met with the sharpest rebukes from within his own MAGA base, many of whom had hoped the documents would reveal links between Epstein and prominent Democrats. Trump has been on the back foot and has failed to make the story go away.
