Key Largo - A Fort Myers man died while scuba diving off of Key Largo Sunday.
50 year old ######## of Fort Myers was on a dive trip on board the Sea Dweller III. He was diving in 30 feet of water at French Reef. Shortly after 10 a.m., he surfaced behind another dive boat, the Tropical Voyager. The captain of that boat asked if ####### was all right. He indicated he needed help. As ###### was being assisted aboard, he collapsed and stopped breathing. Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation was begun immediately and, after loading all their divers on board, the Tropical Voyager started back to shore, continuing with CPR. They were met at the dock by paramedics who pronounced him dead.
The victim's dive buddy said he never indicated he was having any problems during the dive. An autopsy will be done to determine the cause of his death. (Taken from the Monroe County police website)
Prayers to the family.
