The United States Coast Guard is searching for a 32-year-old man who went missing while diving off the Florida Keys.
Officials say a 23-foot fishing boat with two people aboard left Islamorada at 7 a.m. Saturday and was scheduled to return that evening.
The Coast Guard was notified of the overdue boat Saturday night. Search crews rescued one diver who was clinging to a mooring ball about three miles off the coastline. The man told them that he and his brother went diving. When they surfaced, they realized their boat had drifted. The man stated that he stayed with the mooring ball while his brother swam after the boat. He says he soon lost sight of his brother.
The search is continuing approximately 15 miles off the coast of Islamorada.
