BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - A man was rushed to the hospital after a diving accident left him unconscious Sunday morning in Boynton Beach.
The man was with a group diving off a boat called the "Explorer". The group said the injured man came back to boat after diving, and they knew immediately he was in trouble.
Those on the boat jumped into action to save his life.
"(He) came onto the boat unresponsive. The captain, the assistant captain and I performed CPR on him, and we brought him back to life," said diver Richard Henshaw.
"(The diver) was really pale, and I saw the police and ambulance come in with the stretchers and take him," said diver Joseph Razzano. "I saw probably a few Coast Guards come in, the Coast Guard helicopter and a few police boats."
Despite a near death experience, rescue crews believe the man, whose name has not been released, will be OK.
