Last night on the boat ride out to fish, we heard on the radio about the coast guard sending out a helicopter to pick up an injured diver. It sounded like it was off Nantucket. The name of the boat was the Sirena, has anyone heard any news? From what we could hear, it didn't seem like the diver was doing well. I have more details but it would make for a fairly long post.

i dont kow but thats the area the dorias in and it is peak doria season
 
We listened for about an 50 minutes , and the helicopter still had a 8 minute ETA. They said once they got him on the helicopter it would be 45 minutes to the hospital . They must have been pretty far out, because there was another boat relaying the info between the Sirena(sp) and the coast guard.
