The Coast Guard picked up a guy suffering from Decompression Illness yesterday (7 June 2009) about 60 miles out in the Gulf and took him to a hospital in Gainesville.
Not much information is out on this story yet, but apparently the guy was 55 and diving with one of the commercial dive ops in the area (41 ft boat).
Hopefully we can fill in the blanks as time goes on.
