The report came from a boat on the water in the same area.

A distress call was sent out and a second nearby vessel responded as they had a doctor on board.

The doctor performed CPR on the unresponsive diver but unfortunately he did not survive.

There was a party of nine people on the boat, three of whom were diving, when the diver got into trouble.
