A Florida man is accused of cutting off a diver’s surface-supplied air during a fight over a lobster diving location during the state’s lobster mini season, according to reporting from multiple outlets. Authorities say the confrontation involves a diver using an air supply from the surface and a dispute that escalates at sea. The allegations center on claims that the accused shut off the diver’s air supply, leaving the diver in danger.
One account describes the dispute as beginning after the accused allegedly claimed the group was diving in “his spot.” Investigators report that he warned other people that a larger boat was on the way before it arrived and anchored nearby. As the situation unfolds, the confrontation reportedly turns physical, leading to the act authorities accuse: cutting off the diver’s air supply.
Details such as names, specific location, and charges are not included in the excerpts provided. The case is described as ongoing, with investigators determining what happened and who is responsible.
