If the name of the charter boat is accurate, that’s one of Diver’s Paradise boats out of Key Biscayne.

From a Reditt post...

I was diving today on a charter at Tenneco Towers off Ft. Lauderdale, and the current was ripping. They tied into the wreck and we dropped down the sunken oil rig at about 115 ft (Tenneco Deep, but not the deepest one).

Within seconds of hitting the bottom, this guy who came alone and was paired with the DM panicked and tried to bolt for the surface. The DM managed to stop him, but the guy was in full panic, he wouldn’t take air, just lost it and then went unresponsive at over 100 ft.

They got him to the surface fast and did...

Most likely. Looking at the Diver's Paradise website, they did have a Tenneco Towers trip yesterday at 10 am.
