Diver missing on USS Mowhawk

[chrism16]

A diver went missing after 3 dives on the USS Mowhawk Saturday, which is 30 miles off the coast of Sanibel. Im not sure how much of the news article is true but 3 dives at 90'? Sounds like he might have run out of air and wasnt able to drop his weights...what a shame.

He did not do three dives. According to the linked story, it was dive 1. Folks were going down the line. He surfaced and yelled. Then went down. Diver from boat went out to get him. He surfaced a second time but went down again before the rescue diver could get to him.
