A member of the NYCDIVERS posted on their meetup board that a diver on the dive boat Karen, out of Gerritson Beach, Brooklyn, NY drowned today. Sounds like the vis was bad on a wreck dive, he got separated from his buddy(who is his brother), his brother surfaced and returned to the boat. They spotted his bubbles, followed the bubbles realizing that he must be running low on air. When he finally surfaced about 150 feet from the boat, he was in a panic, removing his mask and flailing his arms. They yelled at him to drop his weights and inflate his bc but sadly he went down not to be seen again. Crew and other divers on boat donned masks and fins and jumped in to help him but were too late. May he rest in peace.
