The Herald carries a story today that a diver was killed at 7:15 Saturday night (09/10/05) near John Lloyd Beach State Park. The location was reported as off the beach in the 6000 block of North Ocean Drive.
"The diver who survived and witnessed the accident told investigators the boat kept going."
As of Sunday morning, there were no details reported concerning the use of a dive flag, water conditions, or the type of vessel involved.
The front page story did not reveal names, but indicated the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating the incident.
Earlier in the day, a group of Conch Divers tried to reach the Eurojacks site in the same area, but strong currents prevailed.
We are always shocked and saddened when one of our own meets tragedy. I am sure we feel sympathy for the survivors.
