    Diver dies in Gulf off Clearwater, FL.

    "A diver is dead on an outing in the Gulf. He turned up missing from his group Sunday, about 16 miles out. A Coast Guard helicopter brought him to Tampa General Hospital where he was pronounced dead."

    More details to be released soon.
    As I log more dives..... Do I say that my experience is "going up" or "going down" ?

    This was reported on WFLA AM970, Tampa'a main radio news station Monday morning. The above quote was listed as 'breaking news' on their web site www.970wfla.com Monday. It no longer appears there now.

    I just checked the area newspapers and did a Google news search, but strangely, no more articles or news about this since.
