JUPITER &#8212: Palm Beach County Fire Rescue has flown a diver in distress from the Seasport Marina in Jupiter.

Firefighters say he was diving at a depth of 120 feet, came to the surface and lost consciousness.

He was transported to St. Mary's Medical Center which has a hyperbaric chamber in case he is suffering with decompression sickness, or "the bends."

The diver was described as in his 20s, but was not identified.
