A man was flown to a Miami hospital from the Florida Keys Tuesday afternoon after collapsing on the deck of a boat following a scuba dive off a shipwreck near Islamorada.
The 40-year-old man, whose name has not been released, was taken to Mariners Hospital in Tavernier and then flown to Mercy Hospital in Coconut Grove shortly after 4 p.m. His condition was not immediately known.
Monroe County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Adam Linhardt said the man was diving off the wreck of the Eagle, a 287-foot freighter intentionally sunk as an artificial reef in 110 feet of water in 1985
He was taken back to shore on a rental boat about 1:45 p.m., Linhardt said.
