The man, who was last seen wearing a camouflage wetsuit, was about nine miles southwest of the Marquesas Keys, about 20 miles west of Key West.

The man's dive buoy and spear gun were found in the water.

A Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater MH-60 helicopter crew, an Air Station Miami HC-144 Ocean Sentry and a Station Key West 33-foot boat crew were out looking for the diver.
