POMPANO BEACH, Florida (28 Nov 2005) -- A tourist from Virginia died while scuba diving off a dive boat operated by Scuba Time. Broward Sheriff's Office homicide detectives told CDNN the victim experienced problems breathing at the surface as he prepared to descend for his second dive of the day. The struggling diver was pulled aboard the dive boat and rushed to shore as other divers administered CPR. Six people were aboard the vessel including the captain and a group of five divers. Pompano Beach Fire Rescue responded to the diving emergency and reached the dive boat at about 12:30pm near Riverside Drive. They treated the victim as he was taken to North Broward Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. The accident is under investigation, however, police do not suspect foul play. The death was the second scuba diving fatality in Broward County in less than a month. A New Hampshire man was found dead in scuba gear in the waters off Fort Lauderdale two weeks ago. © CDNN - CYBER DIVER NEWS NETWORK |
