DUNEDIN, Florida — A scuba diver was rescued after his boat drifted away.
Authorities told CDNN that Craig Winnerman, 48, was scuba diving alone near Dunedin Reef when the accident happened.
Winnerman's wife, Donna, 55, who remained onboard the 21-ft center console boat while her husband was diving, called for help after she failed to restart the vessel's engine.
Marine Unit deputies with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office responded to the 911 call and found Winnerman about 200 yards from the boat.
