KEY BISCAYNE, Florida (13 Nov 2006) -- The U.S. Coast Guard has recovered the body of a diver who went missing near the Tacoma wreck site.

The 40-year-old victim was free diving and spearfishing for barracuda with friends and family who told police he failed to surface after attempting a 36.5 meter (120-ft) free dive.

Crewmembers from Coast Guard Station Miami Beach, Station Fort Lauderdale, Air Station Miami and a Miami-Dade Marine Rescue unit launched a search for the missing diver immediately after he was reported missing at about 4:50pm on Sunday.

The body was found Monday morning at about 11:15am some 3.5 miles east of Biscayne at a depth of 38 meters (125 feet).
