anyone know about diving accident 12/28/22

We were offshore clearwater yesterday fishing and got a distress MMSI on the vhf.. then heard boat calling coast guard for assistance with unresponsive diver aboard.. the boat was a 40 foot Nor-Tech.. I sure hope everything turned out OK.. coast guard meet up with them, as they were booking it back to clearwater ramp.. they actually meet up about 2 miles just south of us.. my prayer's are with him and his family..

Heard about it, but that was it. Don't know who it was or about that vessel.

They said that the water depth was 103 feet and he came up very fast without a deco stop.. at least to there knowledge no deco..I listened to the radio contacts between them and coast guard and they were giving CPR for at least over a hour as they were heading in trying to meet up with the coast guard vessel and they said he had no pulse or was not breathing on his own.. sure hope things changed after he got medical attention..
