The missing 33-year-old man was on board with the party of seven and is believed to have gone overboard, Sanchez said. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, the Coast Guard and Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission joined the City of Miami in what was updated to a recovery mission after more than 18 divers searched multiple times in the span of two hours.
One woman was transported with a leg injury, along with a man with an abdominal injury and another person with non-life-threatening injuries.
All three were on board with the group. The captain of the other boat was transported with a leg injury.
