Karenia brevis

I am thinking of diving in the Keys in July.
Right now there is no red tide in the Keys but it is on the west coast causing fishkills. Is Red Tide an issue with scuba diving? Have any divers gotten sick from it?

As always, nature takes care of itself.
Apparently it is bad for the invasive Lionfish, but hopefully not the invasive scuba divers.
